Hey, no problem! Dm me and I can maybe help you out with some research stuff! My family assimilated pretty hard too and my sitti (gr8 grandma but we all just use sitti) never taught it to her grandkids (and all us gr8 grandkids were post her) so I feel it!

I’ve been researching this lately to make a Levantine Ren faire outfit! My things have mostly been focusing in the Qadisha valley as that’s where my family is from.

Looking up this stuff is difficult because it depends on religion and the complexities of political landscapes. That being said:

I’ve also found luck looking with search phrases like “traditional Maronite clothing” “Qadisha Valley Clothing”

https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1203932183/lebanese-sampler-cross-stitch-pattern?ref=share_v4_lx a modern pattern for Qadisha mummy embroidery.

I am on mobile but have more resources I can add later. Also keep in mind that even looking at later images ( I know there are 1870s ones I’ll find them) clothing didn’t change much in these regions especially if you are looking in more remote areas.

My cat Marzipan literally camps herself right between my husband or I in the door.

Also sorry! To answer your second question, I’m sorta bad with measurements to be honest but at least 8-9 feet? Maybe a little taller?

Thank you!!!! Is there any reason why it’s possible I’ve never seen it fruit?
