Women's outfits. Alongside long dresses (entari), shalwar, and sashes, the absence of turbans is striking. In the women's wardrobe, they have been replaced by a headdress called the hotoz.

A small fact: according to harpy tradition, gold jewelry is initially worn by unmarried men, who then gift it to their future wives. That's why you didn't see any jewelry in the previous illustration of men's fashion.

You have no idea how much I want to show off with legendary bird-like courtship rituals. It's almost a pity that the vast majority of harpies are modest eagles and vultures, not some birds of paradise. But I'll do it anyway.
