History of Yemeni Sana'ani dress

I’ve read such an interesting story about the history of Yemeni Sana'ani curtain-style dress: in ancient times, women grabbed curtains (which were used as a decoration of the old Yemeni houses) and wrapped them around their bodies when someone visited their home. Later they began to make Al-Masoons specially to wear them. If you can confirm or refute this fact, please, answer in this topic. We’ll be grateful for your post.
