So I came across an old picture of a Somali girl. The most interesting part was her clothing.

Modern day Dirac/Baatis look much different. Something like this.

The fabric around the arms tightened, the fabric is flowy. The neckline changed from a V shape to more of a U shape. There is a small metal embellishment hanging of the sleeve. If I could shorten the neckline ngl I’d wear it.
Ladies do you agree with me? Should we bring this style back?

Do you have any other pictures of old diracs with that kind of style? It looks like a khamiis but for women.

The modern day dirac seems to be of a different texture and material compared to the ones worn in the pictures. They look more like dresses than dirac.

Nevertheless, that’s our legacy and history ♥️

That's definitely not a dirac. Looks like something imported from India.
