I love the huge wide belts with enormous buckles. I've never
noticed them
before...such wide ones [that orange quilted one in the 1st pic is
fantastic!]
and worn in this style with the end through the buckle and just
hanging. I
never really studied this region before. Is it just a regional
thing?
The first one looks more to me like gold brocading than quilting.
Compare the effect to gold-brocaded tablet weaving. (I'm not
suggesting I think the belt is tablet-woven -- although I suppose
that's one possibility -- just that the effect of the brocading
thread is similar.)
The second picture nicely shows a white shirt/chemise _and_ the
colored ruffled cuff, which is therefore clearly a different garment.
