A djebba fergani or gandoura is a traditional long velvet dress adorned with elaborate embroidery, originating in Constantine, Algeria.[1][2] It is made from black or burgundy velvet and features elaborate golden embroidery.[2] It is also worn in Tizi Ouzou, where it is typically made using cotton.[2]
The dress is frequently adorned with majboud, golden Algerian embroidery that has been named an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, along with the melhfa and the wedding costume of Tlemcen.[3]
