The early Mughal rulers Akbar and Jahangir were interested in fashion stuffs, carpets, and ornamental textiles. Both emperors had a penchant for inventing new names for garments and other clothing. Akbar is recorded as having ordered a new coat or dress with a round skirt to be tied on the right side. This jama may be a later version of the Akbari garment. Its lengthy sleeves would have been gathered up on the arm when the dress was worn.

ma humps, ma humps, ma lovely lady lumps, check ‘m out

how do the pleated trims look? i need to press them and sew them in place (they’re just pinned at the moment) but i’m pretty happy with them. there’s some irregularity in the length of the bones but i’m hoping with the trim on that’ll be less obvious and you can’t see it at all with a petticoat over the top. all in all not too bad for about 2 1/2 hours work - probably take me another hour to finish off all the trimmings, but there you go, pocket hoops, quick, easy, fast, make your hips supa huuuuuuuuuge.

I wanted to wear something along these lines for the weekend.  I thought I’d fit right in as a “Woman at the Battle of Gettysburg”.  However, I’ve been told to dress “practical”.
