Bodice (Choli) of amber-coloured satin embroidered with red and dark blue silk threads, and inset with discs of mirror-glass (shishadar). The bodice is long enough to cover the breast. Open down the back, and tying at the top and bottom with strings. Short tubular sleeves with an inserted panel of plain brown cotton on the under arm. Worked all over with a scale pattern defined in blue, and within each scale are six glass discs outlined in red around a central disc outlined in blue.
