Best, Kubur
No the size is not necessarily between the Thumah and Dharia. Some Dharias (Sabiki) are smaller than this Julba.
The Dharia(Sabiki) is a completely different style which is worn horizontally across the waist.
He actually says that Julba are from the Tihama area, (part of with is Yemen and part modern day Saudi Arabia)....see page 137.
