Description
The Bale Oromo people are an ethnic group inhabiting the southeastern part of Ethiopia, particularly in the Bale Mountains region. They have a rich cultural heritage, and their clothing is an essential part of their identity.
The traditional Bale Oromo dress for women consists of a long, flowing dress called a lubbu made from handwoven cotton fabric. The lubbu is usually adorned with colorful embroidery along the neckline and hem. It has a fitted bodice that extends to the waist and a full skirt that can be ankle-length or longer. The dress is worn over an underskirt and a blouse, which is made of a matching or contrasting fabric.
One of the most distinctive features of the Bale Oromo dress is the shawl or saafi. The saafi is made of lightweight, translucent cotton fabric, and it is draped around the head and neck to cover the upper body and arms. It can be plain or decorated with embroidery or tie-dye patterns.
In addition to the dress and shawl, Bale Oromo women wear various accessories to complement their outfit. These include necklaces, bracelets, and earrings made from beads, shells, and other decorative items. They also wear waistbands or belts made from leather or brass and decorated with intricate designs.
For men, the traditional Bale Oromo dress consists of a shirt called a gabi, which is made of the same handwoven cotton fabric as the lubbu. The gabi has long sleeves and a loose, flowing fit. It is worn over trousers or a skirt made of a similar fabric.
Bale Oromo men also wear various accessories, including necklaces and bracelets made from beads or leather. They wear hats made from straw or leather, and sometimes decorated with feathers or beads.
In summary, traditional Bale Oromo dress for women consists of a lubbu dress with colorful embroidery, worn over an underskirt and blouse, with a shawl or saafi draped around the head and neck. Women also wear various accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, and waistbands. Men wear a gabi shirt with trousers or skirt, and various accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, and hats.
