Bridal tunics are layered on top of each other; one old combination is as follows. A white nattiyak tunic as the base layer, a red tunic, a black tunic, a yellow tunic, and a blue tunic, topped by a red silk tunic and a green silk tunic, then a heavily embroidered tunic. These last three were probably liḥrīr likbīr. [31]
