text:

In Huchirr, Ayepongr and Sangrupu (not previously visited) the women wear their cloth Sangtam style ie. as a sort of smock + an extra piece as a short skirt. The standard Yimchungr men's dress is a stony indigo blue cloth knotted round the shoulder and then brought down over the waist and buttocks like the tail of a frock coat.
