The dark indigo-blue cotton used for the main body of this dress, and many others in north-west Pakistan, is locally woven and dyed. While some dresses are made up solely in this rather austere material, others, like this one, are decorated, usually on the chest, with beautifully embroidered patterns, as well as with silk tassels and other embellishments. The small triangular element that hangs from the waistband of this dress is probably derived from a traditional amulet form, which protects the wearer and promises fertility. Such triangular amulets may be found in cloth or metal, and are seen very widely, especially on women's and children's dress, throughout Afghanistan, Muslim Central Asia and much of Pakistan.
