I asked my grandmother once, " what is that material on the divan/ottoman". She told me it was her 'bindallı' just lıke the one shown above. Tears came to her eyes when she was tellıng us that ıt was once her weddıng dress.

To those who do not know, 'BINDALLI' literally 'a thousand branches/[flowers]' is the name given to this exquisite costume.

Thanks Halil.

I think that is what my grandmother meant. She wore three different dresses for three different nights of celebration. It must have been a wonderful sight.
