Thelma remember when we met up in Leamington Spa and I wore this silk chapan I bought whilst with Sarah in Morocco. I received numerous stares in the street, and I have worn it numerous times and its great for evening wear. I know you fancied one and on ebay they are not too expensive. This picture was taken at my friend's textile gallery before Christmas.
Looking good Ann, good it be that you are an admirer(?) of ethnic jewellery and. You putting it together very well and in style.
Gr. Ingrid.
Yes, I love this chapan and it goes particularly well with the beautiful necklace. I think the 'looks' you mention must have been looks of appreciation! And I can see it would certainly set heads turning in the evening. The whole outfit is amazing. Must try to find a chapan!
Beautiful outfit, Ann! I also would have turned my head :-)
very nice foto ann, the indian stool or bedcover are also beautiful.
jewelry and cloth are fantastic
My friend visits Pakistan/India with work and is there 4-6 times a year and comes back with these fabulous textiles - the ones hanging are large Kashmiri shawls and very reasonably priced. I sell them also in my gallery. Thanks for the compliments of the coat - actually I have become much more brave with my jewellery/clothes since visiting Morocco, or maybe its just as I get older? I wear much chunkier jewellery and lots of bracelets.
Wonderful .. i also have a collection of Chapans from Uzbekistan and a whole pile of Kurpas ...
Ishvara post pictures of your chapans and kurpas please
will do ...soon as i get some free time
I remember the buying of that chapan, A. - you certainly chose correctly. I wear them, too, but then the folks round me are used to me "looking funny" - they`re pretty conservative in the W. Yorkshire village where I mostly live. I think the trick is to wear them with some attempt at aplomb.
Thelma, I buy mine online from Uzbekistan usually. As Ann says, they`re quite readily available and often cheap. Ann`s is a bit of a special, though.
A., are the fabrics real wool paisleys?
