women from Luang Prabang. Tai-Lao women from Luang Prabang still wear this full dress ceremonial attire in the present day as they did in the past. Their hair is gathered into a high bun and wound with numerous gold chains of various sizes and patterns. The ladies wear fitted, long-sleeved blouses made from fabric woven through with golden threads. A richly embroidered sabai is wrapped around one shoulder and the edges are allowed to hang loosely in the front and back. The ankle-length brocaded tube-skirt is richly patterned and wovenwith gold threads. |
