Salwar kameez

[redbird]

I have (after a few unsuccessful attempts) won an EBay auction for a made-to-measure salwar kameez. Following the instructions, I have gotten cattitude to measure many things (including the circumference of my biceps, wrist, knees, and ankles) and now have to make some decisions. In particular, sleeve length: I suspect that long sleeves are most traditional, but it's already getting on to summer: has anyone gotten a short-sleeved or sleeveless kameez, and if so, do you like it? (They're also offering half and three-quarter sleeves, but those don't really tempt me.)

Also, do I really want the kameez knee-length?

I have a short-sleeved off-the-peg one that I bought in Pune, India. Yes, I like it :-)

I think that kameez work well in a range of lengths, but probably best no shorter than mid-thigh?
