But does it come with sleeves?

I bought an ethnic India outfit at this funky market and discovered something I really would have never guessed--nor probably been able to figure out if I hadn't been told. This is a typical kurta. It's a long shirt--really almost dress length but slit pretty high on the sides. It comes with the top, the matching pants, a scarf, and the sleeves. The sleeves are completely separate--just matching pieces of cloth you sew on yourself later if you want sleeves on the shirt.

Oh, and this 5 piece ensemble ran Rs598 or about $13.50.

Including the sleeves.
