Native Parsee Girl
“Among the many strange costumes which attract the eye of a new comer, few appear so grotesque as that of the Parsee young lady, when at that stage of her existence which is prior to the assumption of her outer garment.
[…] Her jacket may be of cloth, or of cotton, or silk, according to the season, but is always cut in the same style, falling just below the waist.”
