Historical Myanmar and Burmese Clothing

Around AD 1000, women clothes of the Pyu era, were made from silk and cotton.
During the Bagan period, embroidered shawl is worn over the shoulders as a popularity. They also had bands around their arms.
During the Yadanar Bon period, a Htai Ma Thein Jacket is worn with Anoh. Emerald shawl is wrapped over the shoulder (Dae wi wrap) or queen's style of wearing shawl.
