They wear it during celebrations especially for wedding receptions. The history of takchita dates back to the Merinide Dynasty.The takchita (alternate spellings: takshita, tackshita, tackchita) is a Moroccan traditional women‘s garment that, like the Moroccan caftan, is worn for celebrations, particularly weddings. It is composed of two pieces, a dress as a first layer, often of fine but not ornately decorated fabric, and a more elaborate second layer or over-dress that often buttons up the front using the traditional sfifa and akaad closures. The upper layer is often richly adorned with embroidery, beading or sequins.
