Clothing

I'm interested in the kind of clothing humans have had throughout history

Pic related is a (bad) drawing that was common for men and women from 300 BC for India

Didn't know ancient poos didn't have a nudity stigma

Although North India and South India used to have similar dressings once upon a time, the North slowly changed a little from external influences. There's two main divergents that occurred.

First, when the Scythians annexed what is now known as Pakistan after the Indo-Greek period they introduced the trousers into the greater sub-continent by trade.

Preciously, a cloth was wrapped around the waist and then one end brought up between the legs and tucked in for greater convenience for most people.

The second is when the Gupta dynasty would annex the last remaining Kushan kingdom. They became huge Kushanboos after and would wear ex-Kushan clothes (which itself was based on the Sassanids) or mingle it together with their original clothing. The tunic would often be worn by nobles on special occasions.

Due to the size of the Gupta dynasty this spread throughout India although it would never quite replace the dhoti. Your average person later on might wear a mix of either.

Hinduism has always been kind of open minded I guess. Pic related

>muh christian modesty

nice

There's no way I'd stick my dick in a horse's mouth.
They bite crazy hard.

Later in time, while the nobility would continue wearing whatever they wanted, the royalty would get more conservative as they started following a Jain belief that believed a woman's body was sinful and had to be covered up. From this the ghagri emerged.
The dress she's wearing is still just as popular today as it was a thousand years ago, although now it's not as long for practical reasons. The Lehenga choli, as it is called, is known for having a swirling effect as you move around and was often wore shirtless by dancers in later years.

Bump
Why is this thread so dead?

So here they are using the cloth skirts

>Got any pic of the indian trousers?
I have drawings of sculptures but there's also this. Some of the coinage of the Gupta kings depicts a tunic

how did ancient civilizations keep their big chested woman from having saggy breasts? Or did all women have saggy breasts before the invention of the bra/corset?

It's idealised of course. big tatays weren't even that common.

Though if my porn desi experience is anything to go by indian girls retain circular boobs - not necessaily firm boobs - all they way into their 40s.

While not being as useful as a bra, there was a proto brasserie in use then called a kanchuka.

Minoan womens dresses were charming

tell me more

Nice user. What era is this from?

We really really really need to go back to a civilization where women's fashion is generally with exposed breasts for almost all circumstances. We really need this.

Most are 1700 and early 1800s.

Why tf is this thread so horny?

Why aren't you user?

Low T detected.

in south India for a very long time, people saw breasts as just another part of the body and were okay with exposing it - but shoulders were seen as very sexual! All the religious warnings against getting seduced by women tell you "don't get under the thrall of their beautifull shoulders", and love poems from men often spent more tine and attention on shoulders than breasts.

A Muslim ruler (Tipu Sultan) literally killed hundreds because people of that society (Kerala brahmins I think) refused to stop going bare breasted outside.

Wow what an asshole
