The kings who ruled Punjab introduced the patiala style of salwar that has multiple pleats, which go all the way to the back of the salwaar. This gives a baggy look to the wearer and the free flowing salwar can make anybody look gorgeous, no matter what the size and the shape of your body. This patiala style was later adapted by the fashion designers of India for creating the patiala salwar kameez.
