A gognots was made of cotton, silk. or wool, and generally rectangular in shape. A gognots would sometimes cover the full body, the upper part looking like a bib and being fastened around the neck.
A gognots for a bride was even more elabotaley decorated. The garment was often embroidered with gold thread or with woven motifs generally applied when producing a kilim (flat-weave carpet). In some places, very fine cross-stitch motifs were used in imitation of rug designs. In other areas, shells and sequins were used for decoration.
