Choli tops are the top parts traditional Afghan Pashtun dresses. Characteristic are the short body and the very long sleeves. The sleeves used to be worn as puff sleeves and have abundantly decorated cuffs.
This antique choli top is very richly set with old coins and embroidery.
You can wear the tops or you can use the material for your own (sewing) project. The garments will look stunning as a colorful accent on the wall, hanging on a piece of driftwood or beautiful branch. Choli tops can also be framed or placed on a mannequin.
This choli top is about 50 to 80 years old and has been worn a lot (real antiques!). Due to the high age of the fabrics, there are imperfections, such as moth holes, a crooked coin, a loose hem, wear and tear marks, stains, etc. and needs reparation work.
