What do you associate with the word Afghanistan? Many probably will picture of a war, terrorists, Islam and Osama Bin Laden.
But have you ever took time to see the bright side of Afghanistan?
Despite the dark image of its reputation, Afghanistan's traditional clothes are colorful!
They have such a beautiful complexion of dresses which are mostly for women. Because of embroideries on clothes and gorgeous motif, it reminds me of Saree, Indian clothing, in some ways.
Afghanistan has been known for its struggles due to constant wars and a negative portray as a home for terrorists.
However, it has its own cultural beauty and legacy. I presume that to the eyes of many, Afghanistan is unfortunately not famous for its some of delightful traditions.
So I'd like to introduce a part of their culture!
I found these pictures of dresses from the website Zarines.com. Their beauty is beyond words.
I hope this would be an opportunity for all of us to get to know a positive side of Afghanistan that we hardly see in the media.

In Afghanistan cotton and wool are the main material used for dressing.The art of embroidery is almost exclusive domain of the women throughout Afghanistan.
