Salwar

Post by Halbrust »

This is the first pair of pants I have ever sewn :)

They are a pair of salwar, as worn in and around India.

My persona is a mercenary in Arabia at the turn of the millenium. The material I used is a lot brighter and bolder than I ever thought I would want. But when I saw it I loved it. I'm not sure of the authenticity of the bright colors, but know that bright colors were available around India and Arabia.

Please give me feedback, so I can improve with my next attempt.

I love my salwars. I sleep in them, and wear them around the house.

I'm Way too civilised to wear them in public. :twisted:

But they look good on you :D
