In this study, we intend to make a comparative study of women's clothing in the reign of Safavid in Iran and the Ottoman Empire. Because of the long period of this government and to have a closer look at this issue, we limit ourselves to the reign of Shah Isma'il I to Shah Abbas II, which is coincided with the reign of Bayazid II to Sultan Muhammad IV in the Ottoman Empire. In some photos and paintings from the Safavid era and the era of Ottoman Empire some similarities were observed in the patterns and components of women's clothing, so this question raised that from which land these similarities land have been originated? In this research, through a descriptive-comparative method and based on library sources the similarities and differences of women’s clothing of Safavids and Ottomans are studied. The results show that the most of Ottoman women's clothing components are very similar to Iranian women's clothing in the Safavid era.
