Womens Fashion Printed Cotton Salwar Kameez For Evenings

Like many other apparel art and design, the salwar kameez or salwar kurta too is a gift to the Indian traditional wear by the Mughals. In their custom, both men and women enjoyed this apparel, cut in long flowing panels. Elaborately embroidered with real gold and silver threads, studded with precious gemstones, those Mughal kurtas weighed nothing less than 5 to 10 kilograms. As time passed, the modifications were made according to the comfort and affordability of the people. Though the source of inspiration remains the same old Mughal fashion, many changes are seen in todays style of salwar kurta.
