Clothing for a Special Occasion

 Men and women in Laos where a Pha Biang - or shoulder cloth on special occasion.  The male version seems to be checked cotton.  

However the female versions are ornate embroidered silk.

These were seen this morning, worn by guests to a special breakfast "alms giving" ceremony at our apartment.  It was associated with our land lady's son's going into the monastery for a week.
