The Deel

For Christmas Gek has paid to have a dell tailored made for me. The actual garment took 6 mts of material and reaches down to just above the ankle. It is lined with a sort of quilted material to combat the cool climate here in Mongolia. The sash is 4 mts long and takes a bit of effort to wrap around the thigh. Apparently Mongolians wrap the sash round the hips and the Chinese around the waist. This is such an educational blog.

I love the colours. The sash has a rose emblem on it and the deel a relatively simple flower type pattern. The needle work is brilliant. I will wear it to ……………not sure yet. An appropriate hat and boots are needed to o complete the effect!!!!
