Description
Shawls Wraps in tie and dye give earthy and rustic look that many
women are very fond of. These shawls go very well with
jeans trousers and make great casual dress. The wool
fabric is of a coarse kind since they pick up colors
during tie dye process better than other fabric. Some of
these shawls also have thread and mirror embroidery.
While women seem to love mirror work because they
dazzle, they are meant to drive off evil according to Kutch tribe.
The Western state of Gujarat is the biggest centre where
the tie-dye technique is extensively used by local
craftsmen. The major textile crafts of the settled area
of Kutch in Gujarat are Bandhani (tie and dye) and block
printing. Coming from the Hindi word bandhan meaning to
tie, this technique has a self explanatory name.
Bandhani or Bandhej is the name of the tie and dye
technique used commonly in the region. The fabric is
tied at various places with the help of a thread, in a
way that it makes some pattern. After the tying is done,
the fabric is dipped in the desired color. After it is
completely dried, the ties are opened and the amazing
designs come to reality.
The threads prevent the tied area from absorbing the
color and hence the desired pattern is realized. This
also includes the resist dyed and printed ajrakh. It is
a technique by which the very traditional looking
colorful scarves and stoles are created. They have very
special significance in marriages. The village weavers
produced for the local community while the master
craftsmen created specially for the royalty and the
wealthy. In addition to shawls, many other apparel
including salwar kurtas, lehenga cholis, kurtis etc are
also made in tie and dye.

Indian Clothes as defined in Wikipedia
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.
Lehenga, choli, and odhani
The women of Rajasthan and Gujarat often wear colorful
swirling skirts called lehenga, paired with a short
bodice called a choli. If they must cover their heads,
they do so with bright veils called odhani.
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.
Men's clothing
The most common male attire consists of the dhoti and
kurta, worn in most of the western and central regions.
A sherwani is typically worn for special occasions. Men
of northern India and the Punjab may also wear salwar
kameez, often in plain white cotton, and top the kameez
with a dark waistcoat. The lungi (a type of wrap-around)
is worn in many parts of India, but depending on the
social practices of the region it may be restricted to
indoor-wear.
