What the moroccan princess is wearing on top of her takchita is called Selham not Bornos. Bornos is a Tunisian word if I am not mistaken.
The selham is part of the moroccan traditional dress. Moroccan women wear it on top of their Takchitas when they are invited to weddings, and other kind of official ceremonies. It can be made from silk or from whool.
