tumene
Tumene refers to a traditional Malagasy garment, typically worn by women in Madagascar. It is a length of fabric, usually cotton, that is wrapped around the body. The style of wearing a tumene can vary, with different methods of draping and tying employed to create distinct silhouettes. Historically, the tumene served as both everyday attire and ceremonial dress, its decoration and the way it was worn often indicating social status or the occasion.
The material used for tumene could range from simple, unadorned cotton to elaborately patterned or dyed fabrics,
