"...she wore a brief garment of fringed tanned skin, rent and stained, doubtless a cast off from some free womans shirtdress, shortened to slave length.."
'Savages of Gor' pg 214

"...she wore a short fringed beaded shirtdress, This came high on her thighs. It was split to her waist, well revealing the sweetness and loveliness of her breasts. It was belted on her with a doubly looped tightly knotted rawhide string. Such a string is more than sufficient, in its length, and in its strength and toughness to tie a woman in a number of ways...She was barefoot. About her left ankle there was, about two inches high, a beaded cuff, or anklet. Her garb was doubtless intended to suggest the distinctive, humiliating and scandalously brief garment in which red savages are sometimes pleased to place thier white slaves."
