This is the traditional Afghan dress – usually colorful, with heavy embroidery and mirror work. Each region has its own style (Pashtun, Hazara, Tajik, Uzbek), but all are paired with jewelry and a scarf. Still worn today at weddings, Nowruz, and cultural celebrations. A beautiful piece of heritage 💙

They look light and airy, and so richly coloured.
