called a Salwar, also spelled as Shalwar. The whole ensemble along with a
long scarf like over-wear, called the dupatta, is known as Salwar Kameez. Ladies Salwar Suit are trousers which are atypically wide at the waist
but which narrow to a cuffed bottom. They are held up by a drawstring or

Ladies Salwar Suit |
Salwars
have been traditionally worn in a wide region which includes Eastern Europe,
West Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia. The Kameez is a long shirt
or tunic. The kameez may have a European-style collar, a Mandarin-collar,
or it may be collarless; in the latter case, its design as a women's garment is
similar to a kurta. The combination garment is sometimes called salwar
kurta, salwar suit. When women wear the salwar-kameez in some regions,
they usually wear a long scarf or shawl called a dupatta around the
head or neck.
