Camisks and Turian Camisks

"She wore only a single garmet, a long, narrow rectangle of rough, brown material, perhaps eighteen inches in width, drawn over her head like a poncho, falling in front and back a bit above her knees and belted at the waist with a chain.
....'I wear the camisk.' "

Book 2, Outlaw of Gor, page 110 ~才


"The brand is normally concealed by the briefly skirted slave livery of Gor but, of course, when the camisk is worn, it is always clearly visible, reminding the girl and others of her station."

"I saw the other girls some thirty yards away, in camisks, the cheapest of slave garments,..."

"Other girls now appeared among the tables, clad only in a camisk and silver collar, and sullenly, silently, began to serve the Kal-da which Kron had ordered."

"The common camisk is a simple garment for a female slave. The common camisk is a single piece of cloth, about eighteen inches wide, thrown over the girl's head and worn like a poncho. It usually falls a bit above the knees in the front and back and is belted with cord or chain."

Book 4, Nomads of Gor, page 90 ~才


"The Turian camisk, on the other hand, if it were to be laid out on the floor, would appear somewhat like an inverted "T" in which the bar of the "T" would be beveled on each side. It is fastened with a single cord. The cord binds the girl at three points, behind the neck, behind the back, and in front at the waist. The garment itself, as might be supposed, fastens behind the girls neck, passes before her, fastens between her legs, and is then lifted and, folding the two sides of the "T's" bar about her hips, ties in front. The Turian camisk, unlike the common camisk, will cover the girl's brand; on the other hand, unlike the common camisk, it leaves the back uncovered and can be tied, and is, snugly, the better to disclose the girl's beauty."

"The camisk is a rectangle of cloth, with a hole cut for the head, rather like a poncho. The edges are commonly folded and stitched to prevent raveling. The camisk, I am told, normally falls to the knees, but Targo made us cut ours considerably shorter. The camisk, I am told, was at one time commonly belted with a chain. However, the camisks that I have personally seen, and those we were given, were belted with a long, thin strap of leather binding fiber. This passes once around the body, and then again, and then is tied, snugly, over the right hip. When Targo inspected me, he made me tighten the belt, to accentuate my figure. The belt of binding fiber not only makes it easier to adjust the camisk to a given girl, but, of course, the binding fiber serves to remind her that she is in bondage. In a moment it may be removed, and she may be secured with it, leashed, or bound hand and foot. The camisk, in its way, is an incredibly attractive garment. It displays the girl, but provocatively. Moreover, it proclaims her slave, and begs to be torn away by the hand of the master. Men thrill to see a girl in a camisk. Secondly, I think Targo gave us camisks to make us even more his slaves. We desperately wanted to have something to cover ourselves, be it only a camsik. That he might take it away if irritated, or dissatisfied with us, made us that the more eager to please him."

Book 11, Slave Girl of Gor, pages 64 - 65


"Camisks are favored in some cities. The common camisk is a simple rectangle of cloth, containing, in its center, a circular opening. The garment is drawn on by the girl over her head and down upon her shoulders; it is worn, thus, like a poncho; it is commonly belted with biding fiber or a bit of light chain, something with which the girl may be secured, if the master wishes."

"One city in which the common camisk is favored, generally, is Tharna."

Book 16, Guardsmen of Gor, page 107 ~才


"The Turian camisk is a bit like an inverted 'T', the bar of which has beveled edges. It goes about the neck, down, low, and is drawn up, and snugly, usually quite snugly, between the legs, the beveled bar ends of the 'T' then being folded closely forward about the girl's flanks and being tied, tightly, at her belly. In the common camisk the girl's flanks, and her brand, are bared. In the Turian camisk, because of its snugness and adjustment cords, it is easy, as you might well imagine, to leave little doubt as to the girl's beauty.

Book 16, Guardsman of Gor, page 107 ~才


"Needless to say, the camisk most commonly found in great Turia, the Ar of the south, is that camisk which Goreans generally, know as the 'Turian camisk.' Interestingly, in Turia itself, it isknown simple as the 'camisk,' and what I have called the common camisk is, in Turia, referred to as the 'northern camisk.'

Book 16, Guardsman of Gor, page 107 ~才


"And there seemed little objection anywhere to marching then through the streets in tunics or camisks, a narrow, poncholike garment."
