During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Turkish women created exotic and sumptuous looks by combining and layering these three basic garments (Entari or Robe, Vest, and short Jacket) with other accessories.

The Entari or Robe features optional waist-shaping darts, plunging V-front neckline, button-loop front closures, flowing bell sleeves, and free-flowing ankle-length panels. Made as a gown to layer under the vest and jacket and/or as a coat to wear on top.

The unlined, semi-fitted Vest has a low-cut curved neckline, curved Princess seams, and button-loop front closures. This easy-sew garment can be quickly bound along the edges and lavishly embellished with braid, sequins, machine or hand embroidery.

The short Jacket (also called Yelek or Mintan) has a gently curving front hemline and bell sleeves that fit over the Entari, allowing the Entari sleeves to drape sensuously. This quick-sew garment with bound edges is perfect for elaborate fabrics and embellishment.
