(01)Design intent
A traditional Balochi shalwar runs about 2.2 m wide; older versions took far more. The Chin Shalwar keeps that width, folds it into deep pleats at a drawstring waist, drops the crotch with a kali gusset, and draws the volume into an embroidered banzar band at the ankle.
(02)Silhouette
- 220 cm total width at hip line, before pleating
- Drawstring (nala) channel with internal elastic back
- Dropped crotch, kali gusset
- Deep pleats (chin) radiating from waistband
- Tapered embroidered cuff band
