The teardrop-like motifs were inspired by <i>butas</i> on textiles including shawls imported, often through the colonial East India Company, from Kashmir. These design elements came to be referred to as paisley motifs because Paisley in Scotland became famous for its production of shawls in the style of Kashmir shawls.\n\nThe intense demand for cotton textiles and dresses in places including Britain depended around this time on enslaved labour in the United States, where this fibre was cultivated and processed.","physicalDescription":"Dress and belt of speckled brown cotton with floral and paisley motifs.
