Camisk-
|
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...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.
Captive
of Gor, pg 64
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 binding fiber or a bit of light chain, something
with which the girl may be secured, if the master wishes.

of Gor, pg 107 |
| Camisk;
Turian- |
It
is rather like an inverted "T," the bar of the "T" having beveled edges.
It passes fromt he girl's throat, in front of her body, between her legs,
and is then lifed, pulled tight, and wrapped about the thighs. Its
single cord fastens the garment behind the girls's neck, behind her back
and then, after passing about her body once or twice, ties in front. It
conceals her brand but exposes her back....worn tightly.

Clad
Kajir-
|
It
Among the Wagon Peoples, to be clad Kajir means, for a girl, to wear four
articles, two red, two black; a red cord, the Curla,
is tied about the waist; the Chatka,
or long, narrow strip of black leather, fits over the cord in the front,
passes under, and then again, from the inside,
passes over the cord in the back; the Chatka is drawn tight; the Kalmak
is then donned; it is a short, open, sleeveless vest of black leather;
lastly the Koora,
a strip of red cloth, matching the Curla, is wound about the head, to hold
the hair back, for slave women, among the Wagon People are not permitted
to braid, or otherwise dress their hair; it must be, save for the koora,
worn loose.
For
a Kajirus--save for the work chains, to be clad Kajir means to wear the
Kes,
a short, sleeveless work tunic of black leather. |
Iron
Belt-
|
She
also wore an iron belt. This belt consisted of two major pieces;
one was a rounded, fitted curve barlike waistband, flattened at the ends;
one end of this band, that on the right, standing behind the woman and
looking forward, had a heavy semi-circular ring, or staple, welded onto
it; the other flattened end of the waistband, looking forward, had a slot
in it which fitted over the staple; the other major portion of this belt
consisted of a curved band of flat, shaped iron; one end of this flat band
was curved about, and closed about, the barlike waistband in the front;
this produces a hinge; the flat, U-shaped strap of iron swings on this
hinge; on the other end of flat band of iron is a slot; it fits over the
same staple as the slot in the flattened end on the left side of the barlike
waistband...The waistband is closed about her, the left side, its slot
penetrated by the staple, this keeping the parts of the belt in place.
The whole apparatus is then locked on her, the tongue of a padlock thrust
through the staple, the lock then snapped shut.

| Miscellaneous- |
There
are many types of slave garments of course, other than such obvious
catagories as tunics, camisks and Ta-Teeras. Pleasure silks, in all
varieties, and swirling diaphanous dancing silks might be mentioned.
The leathers forced on the slave maidens of the Wagon Peoples (Koora, Curla,
Chatka & Kalmak)....

Sirik-
|
...a
light chain favored for female slaves by many Gorean masters; it consists
of a Turian-type collar, a loose, rounded circle of steel, to which a light,
gleaming chain is attached; should the girl stand, the chain, dangling
from her collar, falls to the floor; it is about ten or twelve inches longer
than is required to reach from her collar to her ankles; to this chain,
at the natural fall of her wrists, is attached a pair of slave bracelets;
at the end of the chain there is attached another device, a set of linked
ankle rings, which, when closed about her ankles, lifts a portion of the
slack chain from the floor;...perhaps it should be added that the slave
bracelets and the ankle rings may be removed from the chain and used separately,
this also, of course, permits the Sirik to function as a slave leash.

Slave
Silk-
|
Too, Ina wore a snatch
of diaphanous yellow silk....in most paga taverns, of course, the girls
are silked. Usually it is only in the cheapest and lowest of taverns that
the girls serve naked....Slave silk, and certainly that sort which is commonly
worn in paga taverns and upon occasion in brothels, when the girls are
permitted clothing there, is generally diaphanous.
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 flowingly, and in various lengths.
Sometimes it is put on the girl only in halters and G-strings, or mere
G-strings...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...like some regular slave tunics, have a disrobing loop, usually
at the left shoulder...a tug on the disrobing loop drops the tunic to the
girl's ankles...
Dancer
of Gor, pg 225
She was clad in in a snatch
of yellow slave silk.....
Vagabond
of Gor, pg. 400
Her body was ill concealed,
clothed, if such be the word, in a bit of open-sided, diaphanous slave
silk, suitable for a casual lifting aside. It was a slave garment, and
would have well mocked the modesty of even a bond girl.
Vagabond
of Gor, pg. 405 |
| Slave
Strip- |
To each, on the furs, there
was chained, by the left ankle, a bare-breasted girl about whose waist
there was knotted a scarlet cord, in which was thrust a long, narrow rectangle
of red silk. About their throats were matching red-enameled collars.

Slave
Tunic-
|
Most
common Gorean garment for a slave... invariably sleeveless and, usually
has a deep plunging neckline....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
...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
her as a belt; about her throat she wore a matching collar, yellow enameled
over steel.
Assassin
of Gor, pg.7
The
meal was served by slave girls in white tunics, each wearing a white-enameled
collar. These would be girls in training, some of them perhaps White Silk
Girls, being accustomed to the routines and techniques of serving at table.
Assassin
of Gor, pg.88
One
of those doors opened and a luscious, dark-haired slave emerged, clad in
a light brown tunic.
Vagabond

She
was an exciting brunet, in a short tunic of diaphonous silk.

of Gor, pg. 121
I
ducked under a rope of tiny rep-cloth slave tunics, of various solid colors...
Vagabond
of Gor, pg. 461
It
was a sleeveless, pullover tunic of brown rep cloth. It was generously
notched on both sides at the hem, which touch guarantees an additional
baring of its occupant's flanks. Magicians
of Gor, pg. 21
I
saw a slave girl pass, in a brief, brown tunic, her back straight, her
beauty protestingly full within her tiny, tight garment, balancing a jar
on her head with one hand.

It
was a tunic resembling that of a state slave....had been brief, sleeveless
and gray, slashed to the waist.

| Ta-Teera- |
a
scrap of rag, outrageously brief, so scandalous, so shameful, fit only
for a slave girl...
Slave
Girl of Gor, pg 81
One
of the most exciting slave garments...sometimes called the slave rag...analogous
to the tunic, but it is little more, and intentionally so, than a
rag or rags...

Tuchuk
Slaveware-
|
Koora:
strip of red cloth matching the Curla wound about the head to hold the
hair back
Chatka:
long narrow strip of black leather, fits over the cord in front, passes
under and then again from the inside passes over the cord in the back.
Curla:
a red cord tied about the waist.
Kalmak:
a short, open, sleeveless vest of black leather Nomads
of Gor, pg. 30 Also described in Slave Girl of Gor, pp. 328-329
She
wore a curla and chatka of yellow silk. The curla was a rope of twisted,
yellow silk tied snugly about her belly and knotted, loosely, at the left
hip. The chatka, about four feet in length, folded narrowly, to a
width of some inches, was thrust over the curla in front, taken between
her legs and thrust behind and over the curla in back. It was drawn
snugly tight.
Beasts
of Gor, pg 343
Her
hair was drawn back behind her head and tied there with a yellow cord....a
black cord was knotted about her waist. Tucked over this cord in
front was a long strip, some seven inches wide, of heavy, opaque, yellow
cloth. It then passed under her body and was pulled up, snugly, and
thrust over the cord in the back. The front and back ends of this
cloth hung evenly, and fell about midway between her knees and ankles.
The effect was much like that of the curla and chatka, a portion of the
garmenture, or livery, in which the wagon peoples of the south place most
of their slave females, save that the curla, the cord, was black and not
red, and the chatka, the strip, was of cloth and yellow, not of black leather....the
cord binding her hair was quite different from the koora, the red band
of cloth commonly used to confine the hair of the southern slave....
