| ~ Turian Camisk ~ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Turian Camisk, known simply as the Camisk by those of Turia, is an obvious variation on the "Northern Camisk". Though the names are similar, the actual garments seem much different. As stated, it is designed to fit the girl quite snugly, and expose much of her flesh. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| 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 simple piece of cloth, about eighteen inches wide, thrown over the girl's head and worn like a poncho. It usually falls a bit above the knees in front and back and is belted with a cord or 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 girl's neck, passes before her, passes between her legs, and is then lifted and, folding the two sides of the "T" bars about her hips, ties in front. The Turian camisk, unlike the common camisk, will cover the girl's 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 girl's beauty. {Nomads of Gor, page 90} |

| 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, page 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, page 107} |
