โพสท์โดย🇹🇭 | Her Majesty Queen Sirikit's formal Thai national costume
The formal Thai national costume, known in Thai as ชุดไทยพระราชนิยม (Thai dress of royal endorsement), includes several sets of clothing, or chut thai, designed for use as national costume on formal occasions. They are named the Ruean Ton, Chit Lada, Amarin, Borom Phiman, Chakkri, Dusit, Chakkraphat and Siwalai Thai dresses.
Chut Thai Ruean Ton
Chut Thai Ruean Ton is the most casual clothing of all outfits. It comprises a horizontally or vertically striped silk or plain-coloured sinh with a patterned band at the tin sinh, or the hem, sometimes folded to one side, The collarless blouse that goes with it is separated from the ankle-length skirt. The sleeves are elbow length, and the blouse has a front opening. It is suitable for casual and non-official functions such as Kathin Ton, a religious ceremony of the conferring of royal offerings to monks.
Chut Thai Chitlada
Chut Thai Chitlada, with its brocaded band at the hem of the sinh, is a daytime ceremonial dress. It can be worn with a long sleeved silk blouse, with the front opening attached with five ornamental silver or gold buttons. The sinh is a casual wraparound. It can be worn to a ceremony that is a not too informal such as welcoming the official royal guests at the airport. Wearers do not need to wear royal decorations but the color and style should be appropriate.
Chut Thai Amarin
Chut Thai Amarin is evening attire, made of brocaded fabric. With this style, the wearer does not have to wear a belt. The blouse can be wide and round-necked. The sleeve length sits just below the elbow. The beauty of this chut thai is its textile and accessories. It can be used for an evening dinner or at the Royal Birthday Procession. The royal decorations are worn.
Chut Thai Boromphiman
Chut Thai Boromphiman, also a formal evening attire, comprises a long sleeved blouse which is either buttoned at the front or the back. The blouse is tucked beneath a sinh with its front pleats (na nang). The fabric is brocaded to create a highly luxurious look and feel. The collar of the blouse is round-necked. The sinh length runs about the ankle. The skirt and blouse are sewn together like a one piece dress of which style is suitable for a tall and slender wearer. It can be worn in either formal or semi-formal events such as the League Ceremony or royal functions. Royal decorations are also worn.
Chut Thai Dusit
Chut Thai Dusit is evening attire, wide necked and sleeveless brocaded dress. The skirt and stop are swon together so that they form a one piece dress. For this kind of dress, yok silk fabric is used. It is worn for evening ceremonies in place of a Western style dress.
Chut Thai Chakkri
Chut Thai Chakkri is a formal and elegant wear, normally produced using a weaving technique called "yok". Yok creates additional thickness within the fabric without adding supplementary threads. Often a touch of gold or silver-colored threads are added, making the fabric produced this way particularly more expensive. The chut thai is finished with a sinh, a full length wrap-around skirt with two pleated folds in the front called "na nang".
Chut Thai Chakkraphat
Chut Thai Chakkraphat is a chut thai with a shawl like Thai Chakkri. However, it is more conservative and considered more official. The upper part has a pleated shawl cover, a thicker shawl with full embroidery on the upper shawl. It can be worn for royal or national ceremonies.
Chut Thai Siwalai
Chut Thai Siwalai, a formal evening chut thai, is quite similar to Thai Boromphiman, but has an over-shoulder sbai. It is worn for royal ceremonies or formal functions.
