khuur

Nomadic women wear a deel that is similar to the men's deel, but it is often more colourful and decorated. The women's deel is called a "khuur". It is made from softer materials, such as cotton or silk. The khuur hangs down to the ground and often has a train at the back. Khuur's are often made out of delicate, and ornate fabrics, with beads and gemstones woven into the folds of the khuur.

 
Khuur is a colorful silk robe that falls to the ground. It's called that because it resembles a tent. It has sleeves on the arms and is cut at the waist to make it easier to ride a horse.
The khuur smells of sandalwood and patchouli, giving a sweet and herbal smell, like incense burning.The khuur is soft textured velvet that feels smooth, yet a little coarse against the skin.
The khuur had a train of beaded lace and a collar of guilloche, looped and twisted like dough that had been recently punched. There were criss-crossed belts of silk, which contrasted with the ocre brocade of the khuur. There were tiny pleats that accented the goldenrod cuffs. The sleeves were crèpelike. It had enormous red tassels that danced when she played.

Nomadic women also wear a headdress called a "toob". This is a long, narrow strip of cloth wrapped around the head. The toob can be made from different materials, including wool, cotton and silk. It is often decorated with beads, sequins and embroidery.
