fashion tied with comfort, Punjabi ladies like to wear Patiala suit or Punjabi suit. The
Patiala suit or Punjabi suit can be said to be brought by Muslim invaders in earlier and
later adopted and promoted by the Mughal rulers of India.

included part of Punjab that is in Pakistan today. This traditional dress is worn by women
and girls through their style and cuts are very different from the other dresses. In
addition, the style of salwar suits worn in Punjab is cut differently to styles worn in
Afghanistan and Balochistan is known as "Punjabi suits" or "Patiala salwar suits".
In Punjabi salwar kameez, salwar is cut straight and gathered at the ankle with a loose
belt reinforced with coarse fabric and kameez is cut flat and straight with side slits. The
use of slit in kameez cutting line can be traced to the 11th century and is very similar to
the modern straight cut kameez worn by women today. The Punjabi salwar kameez or
the Patiala salwar kameez emerged as mainstream fashion clothing in 1980 and during
the first part of the 21st century, when it began to wear on the streets and in parades in
London and Paris. He became a rage when the fashion leaders like Princess Diana,
Duchess of Wales and Cherry Blair, wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair wore.
