A Patiala salwar (also called a pattian walee
salwar) is a type of female trousers which has its roots in Patiala City in the
Northern region of Punjab state in India. The King of Patiala in earlier times
had its Royal dress as Patiala Salwar. The Patiala Salwar has a close
resemblance to the pathani Suit which has similar loose lowers as salwars and
long knee length top know as Kameez. Over the decade the dress now is not worn
by men but has classically transformed itself with new cuts and styling into
women's Patiala Salwar.
The reason why the patiala dress is preferred by
most of the women of punjab and other regions of Northern India is its
comfortability and durability in summers. Since the patiala salwar is very
loose and stitched with pleats its a very comfortable outfit to wear. Its
distinguishing characteristic is folds of cloth stitched together that meet at
the bottom. Patiala salwars require double the length of material to get
stitched. The fall of the pleats of the Patiala Salwar is such that it gives a
beautiful draping effect
