Dorea (cloth)

Dorea (Doriyā, Doreas, Dooreas, Doriyah) was a type of striped or check patterned cloth made in the Indian subcontinent. The continued (warp side) striped Dorea was a simplest form of Dorea.

Doriya was a kind of cloth, originally made of cotton, but later made of silk, or tussar or silk and cotton both. It has a flimsy texture when compared to Ilayecha. Doriya was also called "a striped cloth", with stripes running along with the warp of the cloth.

"Are-doriya" was a type with diagonal stripes, while "Salaidar" was a cloth in which the stripes were across the width or in the weft.
