Specifically, an 18th century Turkish ensemble, consisting of gomlek (shirt), salvar (trousers), and entari (robe), based on 18th century paintings of French/English women in Turkish costume, Turkish illustrations of the period, and extant Turkish garments.
It was fun to make and comfy to wear, although I need bigger hair next time!
Read a little bit more about the project.

That is so cool! It looks great on you and you really found the perfect fabric for it.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this.
I’ve been wearing my homesewn salvar (salwar/shalwar, South Asian style) for years. Most comfortable long pants ever.
Looks good on you
Fabulous! I love it! 18th C Turkish costume is awesome and, bonus, it looks very comfortable yet also stylish!
That’s so gorgeous!
