Women's Wear Construction Construction of salwar kameez The construction of a Salwar Kameez, a traditional South Asian outfit, involves a few key components: the kameez (top), the salwar (bottom), and often a dupatta (scarf). Here’s a detailed breakdown of how each part is typically constructed: 1. Kameez (Top) Construction The kameez is the upper garment of the Salwar Kameez and can vary in design, length, and style. Basic Components: Front and Back Panels : The kameez is generally made up of a front and back panel. These are usually cut from a single fabric (or multiple fabrics, depending on the design). The panels are sewn together on the sides, with space left for armholes. Neckline : The neckline of the kameez is an essential feature. It can be round, square, V-shaped, or even high-neck. The style of the neckline is usually dictated by the fashion trend or occasion. Sleeves : The sleeves can vary from short to long, and even sleeveless. They are attached to the armholes after cutting and stitching. Shape and Fit : The kameez can be loose or fitted. Many modern versions are tailored, with darts or princess seams to provide a more fitted silhouette. Construction Steps
