Sindhi Miku / سنڌي ميڪو/ सिंधी मिकु ‎

Requested by Anon!

She is wearing a cholo with muka embroidery, a suthan, a sindhi topi, and a Sindhi ajrak shawl.

Almost kept her original colour scheme and design this time! Some more design notes and references under cut.

I'm drawing a series of as many South Asian Mikus as I can! Here's the fourth one! Is there a South Asian Miku you would like to see? Feel free to request!

All South Asian Mikus

Commissions Open | Ko-fi

Cholo : The upper garment. Modern cholo are longer, I used a reference from the 19th century, cause I liked the design though, kept the sleeves three quarters, closer to modern references.

Suthan : A Sindhi lower garment that looks like a salwar but tightens below the knee and around the ankles, unlike a salwar.

Sindhi topi : A skull cap with an arched opening in the front

Ajrak : A block print style from Sindh.

Muka : A Sindhi embroidery style. I used this person's works for reference. You can probably buy clothes from them if you are in Pakistan 👍

Desi Fashion: Inspo + Romance Tropes

Bollywood clichés, but make it fashion.

Outfit: 24-kali anarkali or peshwaz with extravagant zari work, opulently covered in jewels. Do not forget the passa/jhoomar. Gold is an evergreen choice of color, but any rich color that complements your radiance will be good to go.

Appropriate for: Performing classical dance in the imperial court in front of the emperor, who’s absolutely smitten at this point.

.•.•.•.•.•.

Outfit: Embroidered all-white kurta and salwar (Anarkali + churidaar is another option) with colorful bandhani dupatta.

Appropriate for: tearing a piece of your dupatta to cover the wound he got white trying to save you from goons. Hey, hey, we’re talking about clichés.

.•.•.•.•.•.

Outfit: Ajrak kurta with ripped jeans, Silk thread bangles you bought from Jaipur and colorful pompom earrings you bought from sarojini nagar. Jacket with Kutchi embroidery optional. Modern desi bourgeoisie chic/star plus bahu before becoming a bahu.

Appropriate for: Highly suitable for college or to make those trending “that girl” Instagram reels.

.•.•.•.•.•.

Outfit: A set of uttariya, antariya and kayaband, with flowers tucked in your long hair. My personal favorite.

Appropriate for: Living in a small hut by a waterfall in the forest where you ( a.k.a. a mysterious maiden) rescue a wounded prince with your resplendent knowledge of jadibuties who ends up falling in love with you. ok ill stop now.

Either I'm mistaken or whoever put this together is VERY mistaken. Some of these are types of material (Muga or Eri silk), some of them are types of cloth (like Kanjeevaram which is a type of sari, or Kullu shawl), some of them are types of patterns that are painted or printed (like Ikat, Ajrak, or Kalamkari) and only some of them are actually embroidery techniques.

ETA: The India map is a textile map, not an embroidery map. The Pakistan map is a embroidery map.
