Raspberry Research

I've been too lazy to keep up any of my blogs, but I got curious about these this morning. I want to remember this great article for when I am no longer lazy and start doing art again.

Collecting clothing words to google for fanart's sake. This post will be continually edited as I research. See the turban version here.

I'm keeping an ongoing list of words I come across while researching turbans (I'm not from a culture that wears them). They'll start as just the word I need to look up, then will fill with what I find out.

dumalla - small round turban worn by Sikh men (source: Lurags) any gender. A dumalla comes from the root word "do" meaning two and normally consists of two pieces of fabric (source: tumblr user grampiremolloy)

parna - small round turban worn by Sikh women (source: Lurags) any gender. A parna comes from "to wear" and is normally a small turban and often used as the base layer of other turban styles. (source: tumblr user grampiremolloy)

 paghri or pagh - Pagh normally refers to a larger turban style, and a Paghri is the smaller version of the Pagh. (source: tumblr user grampiremolloy)

hijab - a garment that covers the head and chest worn by both women and men (came up in an image search for turbans and the men's hijab looks similar to a turban to someone outside the respective cultures.) Available in all colors and different fabrics. More common in modern times than in the recent past. (source: the Quoran Courses Online Institute)

thobe, jailed, shayla - men's style hijabs (source: the Quoran Courses Online Institute)

Found on Lurags Orange Turban (you can buy it)
