Tunisian Woman

Tunisian Woman
This was a fairly common sight in Tunisia. The woman is wearing an outer garment called a sifsari. Similar to the sari that is worn in India, but plain white. There seemed to be no way of fastening the cloth, so the women usually hold it on with one hand. Of course if the woman needed to carry out a transaction or to carry her shopping, she had no other choice than to hold the outfit together with her teeth.
