  • Woman's silk trousers (en)
  • women's silk troisers, Punjab, mid 19th century (en)
  • Trousers with immensely wide waists and narrow legs are traditional in many parts of the Islamic world, and this silk pair from Pakistan is an extreme example of the style. The waist measures a remarkable 9.15 metres (30 feet) and would form a huge bundle of cloth around the hips when the decorative drawstring (<i>ezarband</i> is tightened. This drawstring is made using the sprang technique in silk, with bound metal-wrapped thread and silk expertly manipulated to form tassel-like ends. The trousers would probably have been worn with a loose straight shirt (<i>kurta</i>). (en)
