Its psychological appeal to the Indian mind rests on the fact that assuring a complete freedom of the movement to the body, the salwar maintains the female decorum by keeping the legs covered all the time.

This dress also came to the aid of teenagers who found themselves too grown up to flaunt a frock and yet not too old to be offered a saree by their mothers. The tight fitted Pyjamas of the Mughal women was considered too revealing and therefore the fashion dictated a medium width that would blur the outline of the legs and thighs. However, it started growing to varying lenghts at different places till it took a loose baggy shape with narrow openings at the legs. Slowly it became the craze of all women and its width went on increasing till it got the shape of the ghagra.
