Popularly known as the Indian suit or Pakistani Suit, a set of
Salwar Kameez normally constitutes of a tunic called
Kameez, a
baggy trousers called Salwar and normally a matching stole called Dupatta.
Kameez varies in length from thigh line to knee line. Embezzled with delicate patterns and stone works, a
Kameez is the main
piece of the set. A Salwar is usually gathered at the hip either with a drawstring or elastic. Dupatta is often weaved in sheer fabrics and add
brilliance to the Salwar Kameez.
Churidar Kurta or Churidar Pyjamas, on the other hand, are
tightly fitting trousers and are often referred to as Moghul Breeches. While stitching these are cut wide at the top and they narrow down as they reach ankle. This style is preferred more because it emphasis the
contours of the leg. Churidar are usually cut longer than the length of the leg and finished with buttoned cuff tightly fitted at the ankle.
The excess length then falls loosely over the leg in ripples or folds and often resemble the bangles, hence the name “Churi-dar”
