Miju Mishmi Women in their Traditional Attire

The Miju women are expert weavers and weave their own textiles on simple backstrap looms. They have a wide repertoire of designs, patters, and colours that signify their culture. The traditional colours are red, pink, white, and black for the women's clothes. The women wear a two-piece skirt - a relatively plain long wrap-around with multi-coloured stripes on the lower part, and a shorter fabric with the same striped design covering the upper half of the long skirt, tops with patterned borders and all-over designs, and colourful stoles.
