INTRODUCTION

Pajamas are a garment for sleeping or lounging worn by men, women, and children. Pajamas may be one-

piece or two-piece garments, but always consist of loosely fitting pants of various widths and lengths. While

pajamas are traditionally viewed as utilitarian garments, they are often a reflection of the fashionable

silhouette and the image of the exotic "other" in popular imagination.

The word pajama comes from the Hindi "pae jama" or "pai jama," meaning leg clothing, and its usage

dates back to the Ottoman empire. Pajamas were traditionally loose drawers or trousers tied at the waist

with a drawstring or cord, and they were worn by both sexes in India, Iran, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

Pajamas could be either tight fitting throughout the entire leg, or very full at waist and knees with tightness

at calves and ankles. They were usually worn with a belted tunic extending to the knees.
