Baati (garment)

A baati, or, more formally, a shiid, is a somali cotton house dress with a loose fit and short sleeves. It is seen as a staple in many East African households. It is popular throughout East Africa due to Somali migration and trading across the region.. The garment is noted for its versatility; it can be used as swimwear or as a sling to carry an infant.
