Description of clothing length.
خلفية ثقافية
In Georgian churches, women are expected to wear long skirts. If you arrive in a 'მოკლე კაბა', you will likely be asked to wrap a 'shali' (scarf) around your waist. Tbilisi is a fashion-forward city. 'მოკლე კაბა' is a standard summer outfit for young women in districts like Vake and Saburtalo. In traditional dances like 'Samaia' or 'Kartuli', women never wear a 'მოკლე კაბა'. The dresses are always floor-length to emphasize grace and modesty. During 'Bolo Zari' (the last bell), it is common for girls to wear white dresses, and 'მოკლე კაბა' is a popular modern choice for the celebration.
Context is King
Remember that 'kaba' is the general word. If you aren't sure if it's a dress or a skirt, 'kaba' is usually a safe bet in casual conversation.
Church Etiquette
Always carry a scarf if you are wearing a short dress and plan to visit historical sites in Georgia.
