Their costume consists, properly speaking, of very wide trousers drawn together below the ancle, a petticoat with large wide sleeves, and a broad sash round the waist.

Over this sash some wear a caftan, others only a spencer, generally of silk.

On their feet they wear delicate boots, and over these slippers of yellow morocco; on their heads a small fez-cap, from beneath which their hair falls on their shoulders in a number of thin plaits.

Those Turks, male and female, who are descended from Mahomet, have either a green caftan or a green turban.

This colour is here held so sacred, that scarcely any one may wear it.
