Notlar
Shalvar are loose trousers gathered at the waist and ankles. They can be worn by both men and women, but the extreme bagginess of this pair suggests they were made for a man. They are decorated using a type of embroidery called couching: a thick gold thread is laid on the surface of the fabric in a scrolling pattern, and held in place using small stitches. These trousers were owned by the journalist, travel writer and imaginative historian Lesley Blanch (1904-2007), who called herself "a romantic traveller". She is shown wearing them in a portrait painted by the French writer Louise de Vilmorin in 1945.
