Description: | This girl's salwar kameez, consisting of a pair of trousers (salwar), tunic (kameez) and scarf (dupatta) was bought at Titash Novelties at 138 Brick Lane in 1994. They are made of polyester. The style and pattern of the printed fabric are old fashioned for 1994.
Many women in London's Asian communities wear salwar kameez. Some wear them every day but many wear them only on special occasions. The gold embroidery on this outfit suggests that it was probably designed for a special occasion. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Communities Leisure Youth Culture and Fashion | Temporal: | 1993 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
