My former teacher bought a beeeyooootiful street-wear galabeya after trying on about a million, when she was in Egypt. It is black with a pale gold - straw-coloured - design embroidered down one side in front, and very slightly shaped to the body so that it skims rather than hangs lumpishly. I don't think it would make the best costume, but for wandering around in - lovely.
Kashmir, when I watched "The Yacoubian Building" I was struck by how people seemed to change out of their western work clothes in favour of a galabeya for "round the house". Perhaps that's it?
