Description
shalwar kameez is the preferred summer clothing for
Asian women. School going teens to old age women, every
one prefers shalwar kameez to any other form of dress.
The dress is easy to wear. It covers entire body, looks
graceful without ever giving feel of orthodoxy. Light
cotton fabric in above Indian shalwar kameez provides
extra comfort. The dress is loose fit by design.
Therefore it is also preferred maternity dress as well.
Indian shalwar kameez is a gift from the Mughals. In
their custom, both men and women enjoyed this apparel,
cut in long flowing panels. Elaborately embroidered with
real gold and silver threads, studded with precious
gemstones, those Mughal shalwar kameez weighed nothing
less than 5 to 10 kilograms. As time passed, the
modifications were made according to the comfort and
affordability of the people. Though the source of
inspiration remains the same old Mughal fashion, many
changes are seen in todays style of shalwar kameez. It
is women’s primary apparel among the north Indians.
However, its comfort and easy to maintain qualities have
made it universally popular. These are worn in both
winters and summers. The material for the summer and
winter shalwar kameez changes suiting the weather
conditions. Summer welcomes crisp and light cottons,
while winter gives way to all heavy and thick materials.
At present, the most popular style of shalwar kameez for
women is the A line cut style, which gives a good shape
and comfort to the body. The prints commonly seen on
this apparel in India are block print and tie and dye of
Rajasthan and Gujarat. The hand embroidered chikankari
style of Lucknow is also very popular for its
traditionally rich look and values. The winter shalwar
kameez are in silk, satin, and other thick materials.

Sari
A sari / saree is the traditional female garment in
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. A sari
is a very long strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from
four to nine metres in length, which can be draped in
various styles. The most common style is for the sari to
be wrapped around the waist, with one end then draped
over the shoulder baring the midriff. The sari is
usually worn over a petticoat (pavada/pavadai in the
south, and shaya in eastern India), with a blouse known
as a choli or ravika forming the upper garment. The
choli has short sleeves and a low neck and is usually
cropped, and as such is particularly well-suited for
wear in the sultry South Asian summers. Cholis may be
"backless" or of a halter neck style. These are usually
more dressy with a lot of embellishments such as mirrors
or embroidery and may be worn on special occasions.Women
in the armed forces, when wearing a sari uniform, don a
half-sleeve shirt tucked in at the waist.
Salwar kameez and dupatta
The salwar kameez is another form of popular dress for
females. It consists of loose trousers (the salwar)
topped by a long loose shirt (the kameez). It originates
from the state of Punjab in India, but now has become
popular all across India, and other South Asian
countries. It is commonly worn with a narrow scarf
called a dupatta, which can be used to cover the head,
or just draped over the shoulders. The salwar kameez is
most common in the northwestern part of India.
