Clothing and Jewelry\n\nDress and Jewelry of Women: Satavahana to Kakatiya by C.S. Uma Maheswari. New Era Publications: Madras, 1999.\n- The actual reading is fairly useful, although the author is somewhat unclear on the descriptions of some articles, but it nicely limits itself to a fairly specific subject, and so gives a more thorough review. Strangely, it's divided by epigraphical and literary references and then sculptural references, which isn't so useful for making sense of a single garment, especially with no index. Pictures are pretty bad, but at least they are copious and of a specific era.\n\nIndian Costume by G.S. Ghurye. Popular Prakashan: Bombay, 1995.\nISBN 81-7154-403-7\n- Reviews the large eras of Indian costume - to 320BC, 320BC-320AD, 320-1100AD, 1100-1800AD, and then the contemporary clothing of each region. In that it does survey the clothing over time, it's a reasonable overview, but it lacks depth once you become interested in a specific era. Also, the picture quality is extremely poor - B&W, small, and blurry. And because it is so broad, the depth on any part of the SCA-era is fairly small.\n\nTraditional Jewelry of India by Oppi Untracht. Henry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers: New York, 1997.\nISBN 0-8109-3886-3\n- Wonderful pictures and a comprehensive overview of jewelry styles that exist today. It attempts to trace a possible evolution, but has little to no historic research in it. It does have a wonderful collection of examples of various kinds of jewelry and discussion of its current cultural significance. A great place to go to figure out what a given peice of jewelry looks like, and to get inspired.\n\nThe Sari: Styles, Patterns, History, Techniques by Linda Lynton. Harry N. Abrams, Inc, Publishers: New York, 1995.\nISBN 0-8109-4461-8\n- A good look at modern saris and regional styles. It does some overview of the history of draping, textile terms, and iconography, but it is best as a first look at the general idea of saris.\n\nTraditional Fashions from India Paper Dolls by Ming-Ju Sun. Dover Publications, Inc: Mineola, NY, 2001.\nISBN 0-486-41328-4\n- Seems goofy, but it's a pretty decent look at a wide variety of traditional Indian garments, particularly draping styles - how they hang on a human form, what color combinations are appropriate, etc. No pretense at history, a good starting place. All female.\n\nIndian Jewellery by M. L. Nigam. Tiger Books International: London, 1999.\nISBN 1-84056-029-0\n- Contains a really great look at Indian jewelry through the various historic ages of India. Also discusses temple and tribal jewelry, along with the gems and techniques used to make it. Lots of great pics, discussion of periods of history is somewhat lacking in descriptions, but has a copious list of types of jewelry that can be researched elsewhere.\n\nSaris: an illustrated Guide to the Indian Art of Draping by Chantal Boulanger. Shakti Press International: New York, 1997.\nISBN 0-9661496-1-0\n- Single best book on sari wrapping! Her main focus is not historic sari drapes, but rather preserving the wide variety of modern drapes. But she's got a good perspective on the subject of history, and she has included drapes based on her own historical research. The sketches and instructions are the best I have yet to encounter, and I've never seen another book so comprehensive. \n\nNEW - Cut My Cote by Dorothy K. Burnham. Royal Ontario Museum: Ontario, 1977.\nISBN 0-88854-046-9\n- This is very tiny book, with a lot to say. It's about 34 pages long, but in those 34 pages it contains an intense discussion of cut upper garments around the world. It's got a lot of great construction pictures of various shirts and coats, along with cutting layouts and seam lines. There's nothing particularly Indian, although there are garments from Asia and the Middle East. Nonetheless, it's a good discussion of garment construction, and enlightening for any costumer looking to see how diffe

Mostly Western clothing, but many of the African people also wear traditional clothes, which varies from ethnic group to ethnic group. Indian people often wear traditional Indian clothes.

Most females who dress like that right now tend to be gay.  That is the message you will be sending if you adopt that style of clothing.  If you are not gay, I wouldn't recommend it.\n\nIf you want to find a good metro look watch the most recent black videos on TV and pick something more current for women.  Be careful.  Many background dancers are actually strippers and use these videos to advertise themselves.  Try not to emulate one of them.

it depends on the kind of dance (formal or casual) and the reason for the dance (Halloween, Valentine's etc). If it's a dressy dance, then a nice dress, nothing cinderella-like but something chic. If it's a casual dance, then a pair of hot jeans and a "dressy" top. Above all, choose an outfit that flatters your body type and is of a color that complements your complexion, eyes or hair. Accessories like, shoes, jewelry can also make or break an outfit, so choose wisely.

I highly recommend trying kilts. Very sexy. Or maybe wizarding robes. They're both less confining than pants.

It depends on the location and time of day. I've been to bar mitvah receptions in the afternoon on a dude ranch and in the evening in a swank hotel. In general, I wear what I would wear to a wedding (except for the one at the dude ranch). If it's an evening event, you could wear a cocktail dress or tea length after-5 dress. They would be perfect.

Thank you Heron By The Sea, what you said is true.  Muslim women are modest and graceful and the TRUE Muslim girls or women would not agree to covering from head to waist and then wearing skin tight clothing from waist to ankle.  I am an American muslim woman, and to answer your above question as far as undergarments go that's quite personal and depending on if she is comfortable with herself wearing this or many other styles.  I mean I can't believe you asked that question but to kill your couriosity i'm giving you your answer.  We wear a hijab and abaya (that's a long cloak) and it's better to wear black so that you don't stand out with any kind of detail or too many colors outside of being with the company of family or women friends.  And underneath the abaya, we can wear any kind of pants, dresses, skirts, and blouses.  We can wear anything we please as long as we are in the presence of the above mentioned company.  Otherwise, loose fitting clothing is warn under the abaya and the clothing must reach to the ankles and be long sleeved, and then a type of stretch pants or slip pants is also warn under the clothing (such as under a dress or skirt.)

If they wear smocks or frocks all day , then why would they wear\npants at night. They must have nightfrocks or nightsmocks to wear. When I think of monks , I always think of Friar Tuck.

www.vivcore.com has some really neat-o clothes. Welcome to the world of looking good; we girls get to wear what we feel like. Did you see that one retro-fifties dress with the tattoo print? Wow. Anyway, read some Ranma 1/2 comics and prepare for a new life and new(better) wardrobe! Ta ta! (Skips away)

Yes, they wear a leotard. It depends what kind of gymnastics they are in. If they are in trampoline ir rhythmic gymnastics, they wear shoes. Rhythmic gymnasts wear ballet shoes since it is a mixutre of dance, ballet, and gymnastics. Trampoline gymnasts wear a type of shoe, also. Other types of gymnastics like, artistic, boys team, or anything like that, don't wear shoes.

Yes Hindu men wear the bindi or tilaka...although not usually in everyday wear like the women. The men generally only wear it during religious events, religious ceremonies, etc whereas it is become quite the fad for the women to always where the bindi or dot. Also there are different forehead designs as well besides the dot that are often worn by Hindu priests and followers of various denominations in Hinduism. For example the U shaped mark on the forehead with a single line in the center is usually worn by Vaishnavas (and there are variations on this design) while the three stripes and single dot design is worn by Saivites. And then there are other designs that are also worn for various reasons as well. Primarily, though, it's the dot that is the most common. It is placed on the third-eye chakra and represents spiritual awareness. It is a very common religious symbol amongst Hindus and the dot, usually red, is made with a powder called kumkum.

Sharara, gharara, and lancha are all indian/pakistani dresses.\nSharara & gharara look almost the same whereas lancha looks a bit different, and i'm not good at describing things!

Well I think the Franciscan priests still wear this type of robe.  Try looking for sites about Franciscan priest or Spanish friars to see if you can find a picture to use if you are going to make it.  Or try finding a site for costumes.

Huh? Why would a Muslim wear rudraksha? Rudraksha beads are associated with the Hindu God Shiva.\n\nAnd, why would you ask this in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered section?
