[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
According to Bhutanese law, women should wear a traditional dress, called the kira, which is clipped at one shoulder and tied at the waist. An accompaniment to the kira is a long-sleeved blouse, the toego, which is worn underneath the outer layer. Social status and class determine the texture, colours, and decorations that embellish the garments.

hi jorge,
very nice image picturing this traditional outfit: lovely colors and use of lights.
well seen and composed; thanks for the informative note, too!
tfs and have a great day,

A very simple pose from her, but it's really very charming and pretty. It's also a great background for her, being framed in the window as she is. Very nicely done.

A beautiful example of Bhutanese tradition in a beautiful set picture. Also very good note.
