Algerian Wedding

What does mageza mean?

[Bambi]

Sorry if i confused you what i meant was that they the bride herself didn't wear any of the above or any sort of traditional dresses but was wearing really small western style clothes which i thought was really odd!

anyway's im not from London but oxford and have been to finsbury park im not too sure if they would sell those male outfits as i once went out there searching for a Jilbab!

oh yeah i forgot to ask about the guys outfit is it a traditional Berber outfit..?

Mageza in Moroccan dialect means lazy, I was going to translate, but I thought you’d understand

As for competing against each other Amina ~ we shall await Shotokan’s return ~

No worries Bambi

I think I know there is one part of Algeria, where the bride would parade in a
mixture of traditional and modern outfits!! I come from the West and it's different.
Only traditional outfits are worn...

The male outfit is a traditional Algeroise (from Algiers) suit for men!

A Jilbab khoya ? You might like the Moroccan Jaleba ~ for men. The men I know get their wives to buy the material and make them in Morocco as they all follow the latest fashion. As for ready to made Jilbabs/Jelaba are you looking for a winter or summer one ?

I know they do ready made one in Brussels, as there are sooooooooooooooooooooo many Moroccans & Algerian markets for traditional wear.

Let me know, and I’ll see if I can ask around for you insha Allah.

ohhh I thought you forgot a letter in the middle...can't even tell you now what I thought you said

I know the Moroccan dialect a little bit wakha
Daba ana 3andi familia fi marroc

I'm sure you agree I'm good at it

Oh and traditional 'mansouriya' is that what you call it? is something the bride wears as well in the wedding...
