Costume, textiles and jewellery [i.e. jewelry] of India : traditions in Rajasthan
Unravelling the beautiful and sophisticated language of traditional Indian costume, this study of the complex role played by clothing and ornamentation in Indian society focuses on the state of Rajasthan, one of India's most celebrated and historically rich regions. Each of the six sections takes up a separate aspect of costume, describing rare and complex textile techniques, as well as the nuances of clothing and colour and its usage among various social groups. The section on garment analysis includes measurements and patterns of commonly worn garments
