The traditional dress of the women of Haiti is known as Karabela dress. This dress is almost always made of an off-the-shoulder top or bodice with a full, matching skirt. Haitians favor using fabrics in various shades of reds and blue as is traditional for their culture. Despite the warm climate of the islands, the Quadrille is generally made from sturdier fabrics and is often embellished with additional ruffles, lace, or ric rac to add color and visual interest.
