Farshi pajama

Farshi pajama (Urdu: فرشی پاجامہ, Hindi: फ़र्शी पजामा, Bengali: ফর্শি পায়জামা) is an Indian woman's dress that was worn between early 20th centuries in the courts of Oudh by royalty and ladies from privileged classes of Uttar Pradesh (formerly United Provinces of Agra and Oudh in North India). Modeled after the flowing gowns worn by British noblewomen, the complete outfit consists of three basic parts – the kurta or a long shirt, the dupatta or the long stole (an essential piece in traditional Indian wear covering the head and chest), and the third and most important, the farshi pajama, which is a flowing two-legged skirt held by drawstrings.
