Hello, steemians,
I hope you all are doing well. I am very happy to participate in this contest. I like traditional wear very much. I live in Tamilnadu, India where Veshti (Dhoti) is and a Shirt is traditional wear. It is more convenient to wear and stylish too. Whenever we celebrate festivals like Pongal or Deepavali we used to wear it. Some people wear it daily. But I wear it only on special occasions. Let's see more interesting things about this Veshti and Shirt traditional wear of Tamilnadu.
VESHTI
Veshti, is a white unstitched cloth wrap for the lower body in Tamil Nadu and in the North and East of Sri Lanka. source
As I cited above, it is a long unstitched cloth that we used to wrap below the waist to cover the lower body. There are two variations in its size. One is 4 Muzham (2 Meters) and another one is 8 Muzham (4 Meters). The first one comes with a single-layered and the second one with a double layer. The 8 muzham veshti is mostly used as a formal costume in functions.
Muzham is a Tamil word that is used to measure the length of objects.
The special about this dress is, you need to be a master in it to wear it properly. It is very difficult initially to wear it. When I started to wear this my father helped me with this. After 2 to 3 months of practice, I learned it to wear properly.
My son in Dhoti and Shirt
He was 9 months old at the time wearing this traditional dress. He is looking so cute in this dress. And he also liked it very much. He is 3 years old now, he is enjoying this costume. This is specially made for children. It has velcro tape on it. So we can easily wear it now. Even the dhoti with velcro tape is available for adults. And nowadays it comes in many color borders matching with shirt color.
FABRIC VARIETIES
This Veshti comes in many fabrics, like Cotton, Polyester, and Silk. The silk dhoti is a very costly one. Mostly Silk dhoti's used in weddings, especially for the groom. Cotton and polyester dhotis are commonly used by all people on normal days also. Comparing to silk dhoti these two are low in price.
CONCLUSION
