clothing creating diversity by attaining their own styles regionally. As the thirteenth century approached, women began to dress similarly to men's style. They wore loose v-necked clothing that reached their ankles and tied in the front, which was famously known as a jama. A yaleck, an undergarment, was worn beneath it, as well as a paijama. Any body parts that were exposed were covered with jewelry. Also, during the winter season woolen shawls were draped on their shoulders which added to their layered look. Over the centuries, however, this conservative, quaint look transitioned into a more feminine look. They began to wear netted odani, a piece of long, decorated fabric hung over either the shoulders or arms, which is still worn in the present day. They also replaced their loose pants to fitted ones called angias. Gradually, the women also began to wear ghaghras or cholis which are loose ankle length skirts heavily decorated worn with a short- or long-sleeved top also adorned with intricate work. Some cholis were bare-backed and at knee length. Saris also came into play and were usually made of cotton. Saris are normally 9 yards of cloth wrapped around the waist several times and draped over one shoulder. A petticoat, an undergarment used due to the transparency of the saris, was worn bclothing creating diversity by attaining their own styles regionally.
