The chedda of Tlemcen (/ˈʃɛdə/; Arabic: شدة تلمسانية, romanized: Shadda Tlimsānī) is a traditional Algerian dress, more precisely of the city of Tlemcen, but also worn in the west of the country, in particular in Oran and Mostaganem.[1][2] A product of the local craftsmanship, it is worn by brides in Tlemcen for their wedding ceremony.[3]
