Gorean Slave Garments


camisk
a single piece of cloth with a hole cut out for one's head to be worn as a poncho...the garment usually is about just above knee level and belted with a piece of binding fiber or chain...widely used over Gor

As I gazed on her she lowered her eyes shyly. She wore only a single garment, 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. "Yes," she said with shame. "I wear the camisk." Outlaw of Gor, (pg 102)

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...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....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. Captive of Gor, (pg 64)

chalwar
a transparent silken trouser like garment that is sashed and gathered at the ankles...somewhat like "harem" or "genie" pants of Earth...these are worn in combination with a silken vest and veil...used in the Tahari

"From one side a slave girl, barefoot, bangled, in sashed, diaphanous, trousered chalwar, gathered at the ankle, its tight, red-silk vest, with bare midriff, fled to him, with the tall, graceful, silvered pot containing the black wine. She was veiled. She knelt, replenishing the drink. Beneath her veil, I saw the metal of her collar." Tribesmen of Gor, (pg 88)

Clad Kajir
this is how slave dress for the Wagon People is referred to...for female slaves this includes an outfit of 4 pieces....for the males is only means one garment...they are explained below

Curla - a red cord worn about the waist of a girl and fastened with a knot

Chatka - a strip of black leather worn between a girl's legs & held in place by the Curla

Kalmak - a black leather vest worn by female slaves

Koora - a red slip of fabric used by a girl to hold her hair back...worn kercheif style

Kes - a breif black leather tunic without sleeves for male slaves

"The red cord, or Curla, was knotted about my waist, tightly, the knot, a slip knot, might be loosened with a single tug over my left hip. Over the Curla in the front, slipping under the body and between the legs, and passing over the Curla in the back, was the Chatka, or narrow strip of black leather, some six inches in width, some five feet or so in length; it was drawn tight; when a girl wears the Curla and Chatka, the brand, whether on left or right thigh, is fully visible, for the inspection of masters. I also wore a brief, open, sleeveless vest of black leather, the Kalmak. I wore a broad Koora, which, kerchieflike, covered most of my head." Slave Girl of Gor, (pgs 328-329)

"For a male slave, or Kajirus, of the Wagon Peoples, and there are few, save for the work chains, to be clad Kajir means to wear the Kes, a short, sleeveless work tunic of black leather." Nomads of Gor, (pg 30)

kirtle
the dress of bond-maids of the North...this garment is woven of white wool, without sleeves, ankle length, and with a plunging neckline

She was blond; she was barefoot; she wore an ankle-length white kirtle, of white wool, sleeveless, split to her belly. Marauders of Gor, (pg 81)

slave livery
much like the camisk..it is sleeveless and split to be drawn tight with a cord at the slave's waist...often the girl's livery and collar color will match ...sometimes done signify her status..this is used mostly in Northern Cities

She wore the briefly skirted, sleeveless slave livery common in the northern cities of Gor; the livery was yellow and split to the cord that served as her belt; about her throat she wore a matching collar, yellow enameled over steel. Assassins of Gor, (pg 7)

slave silk
the silk can be just about any color and worn in numerous ways..it's diaphanous (transparent) to leave a girl feeling quite naked...most usually worn in the Southern Gor but found just about anywhere

"Slave Silk, and certainly that sort which is commonly worn in page taverns and upon occasion in brothels, when the girls are permitted clothing there, is generally diaphanous. It leaves little doubt as to the beauty of the slave. Some girls claim they would rather be naked, claiming that such silk makes them 'more naked then naked,' but most girls, and I think, even those, too, who speak in such a way, are grateful for even the wisp of gossamer shielding it provides against the imperious appraisals of masters, even though it must be pulled away or discarded instantly at a man's whim." Dancer of Gor, (pg 224)

"There are a large number of ways in which slave silk is worn. It can be worn, for example, on the shoulder or off the shoulder, with high necklines or plunging necklines, in open or closed garments, tightly or flowing, and in various lengths. Sometimes it is put on the girl only in halters and G-strings, or mere G- strings. Sometimes it is done, too, in strips wound about her body. The tying of slave girdles, with such silk, and otherwise, to emphasize the girl's figure and make clear her bondage, is an art in itself. Often, too, and as usually in paga taverns, it is worn in brief tunics. Most of these are partable or wraparound tunics. Such may be removed gracefully. Some tunics, however, like some regular slave tunics, have a disrobing loop, usually at the left shoulder, where it may easily be reached by both a right-handed master and a right handed slave. A tug on the disrobing loop drops the tunic to the girl's ankles, also gracefully." Dancer of Gor, (pg 225)

....it was detected, that her body as she drew the brief, exotic, degrading silk about her, subtly and mistakably, was shaken by an involuntary tremor of sensuality....it was the first time her body had felt slave silk. Surely it would be difficult for a woman to wear silk and not, by that much more, be aware of her womanhood...Indeed it would hardly account for the totality of her involuntary response, her body's betrayal. It was not ordinary silk which she then, for the first time felt on her body. It was the softest and finest of diaphanous silks, clinging and betraying. It had been milled and created to reveal a woman most exquisitely and beautifully to her Master. It was brief, exotic, humiliating, degrading. It was of course slave silk. Hunters of Gor, (pg 150)

state slave silks
a short gray slave livery worn by state slaves possibly with other gray adornments such as the collar, slave bracelets, and bells...often found being worn in large Cities throughout Gor

They wore the brief gray livery of the state slave of Ar, slashed to the waist, knotted with a gray cord; about their throats was locked the gray metal collar of Ar's state slave; they were barefoot; on the left ankle of each was the gray metal band, with its five gray bells, worn by the female state slave. Their hair, in state fashion, had been cut short, shaped, and combed back around the head. The wrists of each were confined behind her back with gray slave bracelets. Assassin of Gor, (pg 395)

Ta-teera
a form fitting breif one piece garment that is fastened with hooks...it helps to accenuate the figure of a female slave...often worn by slaves from the Cities of Gor..also called the 'slave rag'

Joyfully I drew on the garment, slipping it over my head and fastened it, more tightly about me, by the two tiny hooks on the left. The slit made the garment, a rather snug one, easier to slip into; the two hooks, when fastened, naturally increased the snugness of the garment, drawing it quite close about the breasts and hips; deliciously then, from the point of view of a man, the girl's figure is betrayed and accentuated; also, the two hooks do not close the slit on the left completely, but permit men to gaze upon the sweet slave flesh held pent, held captive, within. Slave Girl of Gor, (pg 76)

"One of the most exciting slave garments, if a slave is permitted clothing, is the Ta-Terra or, as it is sometimes called, the slave rag. This is analogous to the tunic, but it is little more, and intentionally so, than a rag or rags. In it the girl is in no doubt as the whether or not she is a slave. Some cities do not wish girls in Ta-Teeras to be seen publicly on the streets. Some masters put their girls in such garments only when they are camping, or in the wild. Others, of course, may prescribe the Ta-Teera for their girls when they are within their own compartments." Guardsman of Gor, (pg 107)

tunic
widely worn over Gor...the slave tunic can come in a variety of colors, sizes, and styles for slave girls...work slaves will often wear a tunic that is brown or gray in color

"It was a sleeveless, pullover tunic of brown rep cloth. It was generously notched on both sides at the hem, which guarantees an additional baring of its occupant's flanks." Magicians of Gor, (pg 21)

"The most common Gorean garment for a slave is a brief slave tunic. This tunic is invariably sleeveless and, usually, has a deep, plunging neckline. It may be of a great variety of materials, from rich satins and silks to thin, form-revealing, clinging rep-cloth." Guardsman of Gor, (pg 107)

"I wore a brief, one-piece, brown work tunic. It was all I wore, with the exception of the collar. We wore such tunics when engaged as work slaves. The tunics of work slaves are usually brown or gray." Slave Girl of Gor, (pg 265)

thralls (male slaves) of the North wear white woolen tunics....

Men in the fields wore short tunics of white wool; some carried hoes; their hair was close cropped; about their throats had been hammered bands of black iron, with a welded ring attached. Marauders of Gor, (pg 82)

Turian camisk
hiding a girl's brand but offering a more snug fit..this garment is shaped as an inverted T with beveled edges and fastened in place with cords

"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 is known simply as the 'camisk,' and what I have called the common camisk is, in Turia, referred to as the 'Northern Camisk.'" Guardsman of Gor, (pg 107)

"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 bad ends on the 'T' then being folded closely forward about the girl's flanks and being tied, tightly, at her belly." Guardsman of Gor, (pg 107)

"The single garment of these women was the Turian Camisk. I do not know particularly why it is called a camisk, save that it is a simple garment for a female slave. The common camisk is a single piece of cloth, about eighteen inches wide, thrown over the girls head and worn like a poncho. It usually falls a bit above the knees in front and back and is belted with a cord our chain. 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, passes between her legs, and is then lifted and, folding the two side of the T`s bar about her hips, ties in front. The Turian camisk, unlike the common camisk, will cover the girls 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 girls beauty. Nomads of Gor, (pg 90)

Silk Colors


According to the books, a red silk girl is merely one who has been "opened" by a Man. In other words, she is not a virgin. Where as a white silk girl in the books was a virgin. Although silk color designations were not always used to mark a slave's training progress in the books, some places online use them for this purpose. Below is a list of silk colors and what they mean as far as online roleplaying goes. What's written below can apply to male or female slaves. Keep in mind of course that each Home is different to an extent and the information here might not mirror the information elsewhere.


white silk
these girls can be one of three things....a slave that is sexually restricted completely to her Owner in all that she does...or a slave that is a virgin...or a slave that is in the beginning of her training....either way white silk slaves should not be performing 'heated' serves.....or having 'heated' conversations...unless to their Owner

yellow silk
this color signifies that a girl is a Tavern slave....or that she is in training still...unless restricted to her Owner one of these girls should be able to use 'slave heat' while serving and such

red silk
a red silk slave is most usually a well trained slave that is highly skilled in all tracks of service that she is required to learn....again...unless restricted to her Owner one of these girls should be able to use 'slave heat' while serving and such

gray silk
this color marks a girl as a state slave

black silk
a slave in black is either new to Gor and in a collar (sometimes called 'kettle') to begin learning....or she might be an unowned slave as well

purple silk
not actually a silken garment...instead it is a plastic like smock...this garment is worn by the slaves of the Preist Kings
