Angia (also angi, angiya, or anggiya) is an obsolete form of bodice or breast-cloth of Indian origin dating from the 19th century, covering the entire upper body from bust to waist and tied at the back. Very short sleeves, if any, and a high waist characterized the angia, which was made of fine cotton material such as muslin.
