Dear Lydia,
Thank you. I do understand all that, but what does the word "Nesh" mean? The dress is called many things besides Thobe Neshel. For example, Thobe Tawoose means "Peacock dress", or Darrah Zerri, which means Sequined Dress, and both are names for the thobe. But this word, "Nesh", no one seems to know its literal meaning and I have been trying to find it for many years. I so appreciate your input and thank you for taking the time.
Regards,
A'isha
