<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 237102, member: 29&quot;]Chemise in the UK has a totally different meaning: that&#039;s a denim shirt in the picture, we&#039;d never call it a chemise. Cut off tops worn under saris are often called chemise blouses and sold as such here. A chemise here is a strappy bare top or dress, with the roots being in the usage of the word for Victorian undergarments. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s incorrect to define costume by religion, if referring to those whose heritage is of the Indian subcontinent. My Hindu female friends wear salwar kameez, sometimes with dupatta, for everyday, with saris for best. They are mostly of Punjabi or Gujerat origin here.&nbsp; Muslim women here likewise also wear saris as well as salwar kameez, other than the underpinning of the sari will be far more modest. Some are hijabi, many young women wear turbans, some neither.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s by no means only traditional women who wear the sari, either. We have fabulous modernist crossover designers worn by all sorts, including non Asian women. </p><p><br /></p><p>Afghan and Kashmiri is another garb again of course.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
