The Punjabi Top



In the past year, thanks to my wonderful Indian dancing friends, I have learnt more about Indian clothing.  I have recently done some alterations to some Punjabi tops.  This is the longer length top worn over pants.  The tops sometimes come sleeveless, as in the picture, but may have the sleeves as part of the package so that they can be attached if wanted.  The sleeves are put in before any of the side seams.  The sleeve and body side seams are sewn as one thus making alterations easier.
