Gorean (Gor) Life
Gorean
Slave Attire
The dressing of slaves, incidentally, is an interesting and intricate pastime. The slave is almost never totally nude. Her body is marked almost always with some token of her condition, which is bond. This is usually a collar, but it may also be an anklet, sometimes belled, or a bracelet. Her brand, of course, fixed in her very flesh, deep and lovely, is always worn. There is no mistaking it. The iron has seen to that. "Sometimes, too, it is controversial as to what constitutes a garment and what a bond. For example, is a slave harness a garment or a bond; objectively, I suppose, it is both. So, too, I would suppose, are the tunic chains of Tyros. A girl may be "set off," of course, and beautifully, even if, technically, she is not clothed. She may be garbed, for example, in netting, as the "Hunter's Catch"; or she may be bedecked in jewels and leather, and shimmering chains, dancing under a whip in a tavern in Port Kar; or she may have flowers intertwined in her chains, as when she is awarded to a victor in public games in Ar. Interestingly, what counts as slave garments and what does not, is apparently a culturally influenced phenomenon." Guardsman of Gor page 108 Gorean slaves were usually dressed to fit their duties and according to the region in which they lived. In Tharna the girls often times wore the common camisk , whereas in Turia the girls wore what is referred to as the Turian Camisk. The kajira in the Tahari wore either the chalwar or haik , while the Torvaldslanders dressed their slaves in a kirtle . The Wagon Peoples had a four piece garment made up of the chatka, curla, kalmak, koora , worn by the kajirae, and simply the kes alone for the kajirus. In the Barrens, the Red Savages dressed their kajira uniquely in brief beaded garments which went unnamed. As you would imagine, in the Frozen North the girls were dressed according to the frigid climate in such things as fur stockings, boots and parkas. In addition to these regional garments, the kajirae were also clad in tunics, ta-teeram silks and leathers. . These garments were not necessarily provided to the kajira to provide modesty, but more so to stress her bond and accentuate her beauty.
“Slave
girls on Gor, on the other hand, when permitted clothing, are usually
dressed briefly and lightly, that their charms be muchly revealed. Gorean
men wish it this way. That, accordingly, is the way it is.” A common misconception is that kajira referred to as “white silk” or “red silk” are dressed in white or red silks. The following quote briefly explains that these terms are used as a description of the girls sexual experience or lack of.
“To be
sure,' I said, `'white' in the context of 'white-silk girl' tends less to
suggest purity and innocence to the Gorean than ignorance, naivete, and a
lack of experience. One expects a red-silk girl, for example, to not only
be able to find her way about the furs, but, subject to the whip, owned
and dominated, perhaps chained, to prove herself a sensuous treasure
within them.” The most common Gorean garment for a slave is a brief slave tunic. This tunic is invariably sleeveless, and usually, has a deep, plunging neckline. It may be of a great variety of materials, from rich satins and silks to thin, form-revealing, clinging rep-cloth. Camisks are favored in some cities. The common camisk is a simple rectangle of cloth, containing, in its center, a circular opening. The garment is drawn on by the girl over her head and down upon her shoulders; it is worn, thus, like a poncho; it is commonly belted with biding fiber or a bit of light chain, something with which the girl may be secured, if the master wishes." Guardsmen of Gor, pages 107-109
Camisk "The common camisk is a single piece of cloth, about eighteen inches wide, thrown over the girl's head and worn like a poncho. It usually falls a bit above the knees in the front and back and is belted with cord or chain." Nomads of Gor 90 “The common
camisk is a simple rectangle of cloth, containing, in its center, a
circular opening. The garment is drawn on by the girl over her head and
down upon her shoulders; it is worn, thus, like a poncho; it is commonly
belted with biding fiber or a bit of light chain, something with which the
girl may be secured, if the master wishes. One city in which the common
camisk is favored, generally, is Tharna. The Turian camisk is a bit like
an inverted "T," the bar of which has beveled edges. It goes about the
neck, down, low, and is drawn up, and snugly, usually quite snugly,
between the legs, the beveled bar ends of the "T" then being folded
closely forward about the girl's flanks and being tied, tightly, at her
belly. In the common camisk the girl's flanks, and her brand, are bared.
In the Turian camisk, because of its snugness and adjustment cords, it is
easy, as you might well imagine, to leave little doubt as to the girl's
beauty. Needless to say, the camisk most commonly found in great Turia,
the Ar of the south, is that camisk which Goreans, generally, know as the
"Turian camisk." Interestingly, in Turia itself, it is known simply as the
"camisk," and what I have called the common camisk is, in Turia, referred
to as the "northern camisk."
"The
Turian camisk, if it were to be laid out on the floor, would appear
somewhat like an inverted 'T' in which the bar of the 'T' would be beveled
on each side. It is fastened with a single cord. The cord binds the
garment on the girl at three points, behind the neck, behind the back, and
in front at the waist. The garment itself, as might be supposed, fastens
behind the girl's neck, and, folding the two sides of the T's bar about
her hips, ties in front. The Turian camisk, unlike the common camisk, will
cover the girl's brand; on the other hand, unlike the common camisk, it
leaves the back uncovered and can be tied, and is, snugly, the better to
disclose the girl's beauty."
Chalwar "From one side a slave girl, barefoot, bangled, in sashed, diaphanous, trousered chalwar, gathered at the ankle, its tight, red-silk vest, with bare midriff, fled to him, with the tall, graceful, silvered pot containing the black wine. She was veiled. She knelt, replenishing the drink. Beneath her veil, I saw the metal of her collar." Tribesman of Gor page 88 "She wore a high, red-silk vest, swelling, fastened with a single hook; diaphanous red-silk chalwar, low on her hips, gathered at the ankles; two golden bangles on her left ankle; collar." Tribesman of Gor page 156 djellaba: a brief made of rep
cloth, coming high upon the thighs, used for sleeping in the Tahari haik:
a black head to toe garment, at the eyes a
bit of black lace, non heeled slippers of black with curled toes slave hunters catch: garb of netting
Chatka, Curla, Kalmak, and Koora "Among the Wagon Peoples, to be clad Kajir means, for a girl, to wear four articles, two red two black; a red cord, the Curla, is tied about the waist; the Chatka, or long, narrow strip of black leather, fits over the cord in front, passes under, and then again, from the inside, passes over the cord in back; the Chatka is drawn tight; the Kalmak is then donned; it is a short, open, sleeveless vest of black leather; lastly the Koora, a strip of red cloth, matching the Curla, is wound about the head, to hold the hair back, for slave women, among the Wagon Peoples, are not permitted to braid, or otherwise dress their hair; it must be, save for the Koora, worn loose. For a male slave or Kajirus, of the Wagon Peoples, and there are few, save for the work chains, to be clad Kajir means to wear the Kes, a short, sleeveless work tunic of black leather." Nomads of Gor "The red cord, or Curla, was knotted about my waist, tightly, the knot, a slip knot, might be loosened with a single tug over my left hip. Over the Curla in the front, slipping under the body and between the legs, and passing over the Curla in the back, was the Chatka, or narrow strip of black leather, some six inches in width, some five feet or so in length; it was drawn tight; when a girl wears the Curla and Chatka, the brand, whether on left or right thigh, is fully visible, for the inspection of masters. I also wore a brief, open, sleeveless vest of black leather, the Kalmak. I wore a broad Koora, which, kerchieflike, covered most of my head." Slave Girl of Gor
Kes "For a male slave, or Kajirus, of the Wagon Peoples, and there are few, save for the work chains, to be clad Kajir means to wear the Kes, a short, sleeveless work tunic of black leather." Nomads of Gor page 30
Kirtle "Only a kirtle of thin, white wool, split to the belly, stood between their beauty and the leather of their masters." Marauders of Gor page 100 "She was blond; she was barefoot; she wore an ankle-length white kirtle, of white wool, sleeveless, split to her belly." Marauders of Gor page 81 Gunnhild, angrily, with
two hands, jerked her kirtle to her waist, and stood straight,
proudly before the Forkbeard, her breasts, which were marvelous,
thrust forward.” Silks/span "Slave Silk, and certainly that sort which is commonly worn in paga taverns and upon occasion in brothels, when the girls are permitted clothing there, is generally diaphanous. It leaves little doubt as to the beauty of the slave. Some girls claim they would rather be naked, claiming that such silk makes them 'more naked then naked,' but most girls, and I think, even those, too, who speak in such a way, are grateful for even the wisp of gossamer shielding it provides against the imperious appraisals of masters, even though it must be pulled away or discarded instantly at a man's whim." Ta-Teera "Eta pulled at the bit of rag she wore. "'Ta-Teera," she said. I looked down at the scrap of rag, outrageously brief, so scandalous, so shameful, fit only for a slave girl, which I wore. I smiled. I had been placed in a Ta-Teera. "Ta-Teera," I said. I wore the Ta-Teera." Slave Girl of Gor page 81 "One of the most exciting slave garments, if the slave is permitted clothing, is the Ta-Teera, or, as it is sometimes called, the slave rag. This is analogous to the tunic, but it is little more, and intentionally so, than a rag or rags. In it the girl is in no doubt as to whether or not she is a slave. Some cities do not wish girls in Ta-Teeras to be seen publicly on the streets. Some masters put their girls in such garments only when they are camping, or in the wilds. Others, of course, may prescribe the Ta-Teera for their girls when they are within their own compartments." Outlaw of Gor page 186 "It was with joy, later in the morning, that I felt, thrown against my body by my master, a bit of brown cloth. It was a few threads, fit for a bond girl(...)Joyfully I drew on the garment, slipping it over my head, and fastened it, more tightly about me by the two tiny hooks on the left. The slit made the garment a rather snug one, easier to slip into; the two hooks, when fastened, naturally increased the snugness of the garment, drawing it quite closely about the breasts and hips, deliciously then, from the point of view of a man, the girl's figure is betrayed and accentuated; also the two hooks do not close the slit on the left completely, but permit men to gaze upon the sweet slave flesh pent, held captive within." Slave Girl of Gor page 75 Thrall Tunic "Men in the fields wore short tunics of white wool; some carried hoes; their hair was close cropped; about their throats had been hammered bands of black iron, with a welded ring attached." Marauders of Gor page 82 Work tunic "I wore a brief, one-piece, brown work tunic. It was all I wore, with the exception of the collar. We wore such tunics when engaged as work slaves. The tunics of work slaves are usually brown or gray." Slave Girl of Gor page 285 "About her forehead, tying back her dark hair, was a strip of rep cloth, brown, of the same material as the work tunic. I knew this meant she had authority among the girls." Captive of Gor page 285
Leathers“The
leathers forced on the slave maidens of the Wagon Peoples, taught to
care for the bosk and please the masters, too, might be called to
mind.” Shirtdress of the Barrens
"About her throat, narrow, sturdy and closely fitting, was a steel collar. I stepped back, that I might see her better. She wore a short, fringed, beaded shirtdress. This came up high on her thighs. It was split to her waist, revealing the sweetness and loveliness of her breasts. It was belted upon her with a doubly looped, tightly knotted rawhide string. Such a string is more than sufficient, in its length, and in the strength and toughness, to tie a woman 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 their white slaves." Savages of Gor
slave livery a much more modest garment, consisting of an over-the-head piece of clothing not unlike a "sheath-dress" or sun dress. These tend to be simple, brief (usually covering the wearer to the middle of the thigh) and are often employed for tower slaves, work slaves, or household and domestic slaves.
She
wore the briefly skirted, sleeveless slave livery common in the
northern cities of Gor; the livery was yellow and split to the cord
that served as her belt; about her throat she wore a matching
collar, yellow enameled over steel. pleasure silk ((noun): sheer, clingy form of silk worn only by slavegirls; wraps like a pareau, with a disrobing loop at the left shoulder sheer, clingy form of silk
worn only by slave girls; wraps like a pareau, with a disrobing loop
at the left shoulder: Captive of Gor, page 322
"she took the tiny,
triangular yellow veil, utterly diaphanous, and held it before her
face, covering the lower portion of her face. The veil was drawn
back and she held it at her ears. The light silk was held across the
bridge of her nose, where, beautifully, its porous, yellow sheen
broke to the left and right. Her mouth, angry, was visible behind
the veil. It, too, covered her chin. The mouth of a woman, by men of
the Tahari, and by Goreans generally, is found extremely
provocative, sexually. The slave veil is a mockery, in its way. It
reveals, as much as conceals, yet it adds a touch of subtlety,
mystery; slave veils are made to be torn away, the lips of the
master then crushing those of the slave." Tribesmen of Gor, page
69-70 Torvaldsland garments
"Before he had left, he had them sew northern garments for themselves, under his instruction. From the furs and hides among the spoils at the wall they had cut and sewn for themselves stockings of lart skin, and shirts of hide, and a light and heavy parka, each hooded and rimmed with lart fur. Too, they had made the high fur boots of the northern woman and the brief panties of fur, to which the boots, extending to the crotch, reach. On the hide shirts and parkas he had made them sew a looped design of stitching at the left shoulder, which represented binding fiber. This designated the garments as those of beasts. A similar design appeared on each of the other garments. About their throats now, too, they wore again four looped strings, each differently knotted, by means of which a red hunter might, upon inspection, determine that their owner was Imnak." Beasts of Gor "I saw four small milk bosk grazing on short grass. In the distance, above the acres, I could see mountains, snowcapped. A flock of verr, herded by a maid with a stick, turned bleating on the sloping hillside. She shaded her eyes. Se was blond; she was barefoot; she wore an ankle-length white kirtle of white wool, sleeveless, split to her belly; about her neck I could see a dark ring." Marauders of Gor "If you are washed and readied" said a young thrall, collared in a kirtle of white wool, "it is permissible to present yourself before the high seat of the house, before my master, Svein Blue Tooth, Jarl of Torvaldsland." Marauders of Gor
Dress of the Barrens: “About her throat, narrow,
sturdy and closely fitting, was a steel collar. I stepped back, that
I might see her better. She wore a short, fringed, beaded
shirtdress. This came up high on her thighs. It was split to her
waist, revealing the sweetness and loveliness of her breasts. It was
belted upon her with a doubly looped, tightly knotted rawhide
string. Such a string is more than sufficient, in its length, and in
the strength and toughness, to tie a woman 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 their white slaves.”
The Frozen North: “Before he had left, he had
them sew northern garments for themselves, under his instruction.
From the furs and hides among the spoils at the wall they had cut
and sewn for themselves stockings of lart skin, and shirts of hide,
and a light and heavy parka, each hooded and rimmed with lart fur.

now, too, they wore again four looped strings, each differently
knotted, by means of which a red hunter might, upon inspection,
determine that their owner was Imnak.” Besides the choice of clothing that a slave girl was given by her Master she was maybe given other jewelry and chains to enhance her beauty. As well as make up and perfumes if it so pleased her owner. Make-up/Jewelry
Silks denote not only the level of skill of a kajira, but also their
limits. For example, a white silk who is not skilled in the art of
furring, would not please One, therefore, that privilage is reserved
for the red silk. Altho keep in mind, a Gorean Master will take what
He wishes. Silks vary also from Owner to Owner as most will dress
you in what They deem most pleasing to Them. These are just a few
basic colors listed, the possibilities are endless depending on the
individual Sirik A 'chain dress' of sorts...made of looping chains from the collar to wrist and ankle rings. The chain is usually light and shiny. "....both girls wore the Sirik, a light chain favored for female slaves by many Gorean masters; it consists of a Turian-type collar, a loose, rounded circle of steel, to which a light, gleaming chain is attached; should the girl stand, the chain, dangling from her collar, falls to the floor; it is about ten or twelve inches longer than is required to reach from her collar to her ankles; to this chain, at the natural fall of her wrists, is attached a pair of slave bracelets; at the end of the chain there is attached another device, a set of linked ankle rings, which, when closed about her ankles, lifts a portion of the slack chain from the floor; the Sirik is an incredibly graceful thing and designed to enhance the beauty of its wearer; perhaps it should only be added that the slave bracelets and the ankle rings may be removed from the chain and used separately; this also, of course, permits the Sirik to function as a slave leash." Nomads of Gor, page 42
"She threw a linkage of rings and bells to the tiles beside me. 'Bell yourself,' she said. 'They lock,' I said. 'Bell yourself, 'she said. I extended my left ankle and, carefully, aligned the four rings. The rings were linked vertically at five places by tiny metal fastenings; each ring, opened, hinged, terminated on one end with a bolt and the other with a tiny lock; I slipped the small bolts into the tiny locks; there were four tiny snaps; the rings, linked together, fitted snugly; each ring bor five slave bells. Slave Girl of Gor, page 259
Chastity Belt
Kajira of Gor, page 103
Chains
Slave Hobble "The slave hobble consists of two rings, one for a wrist, the other for an ankle, joined by about seven inches of chain. In a right-handed girl, such as either Aphris or Elizabeth, it locks on the right wrist and left ankle. When the girl kneel, in any of the traditional positions of the Gorean woman, either slave or free, it is not uncomfortable." Nomads of Gor, pages 154-155
Slave Ring
JEWELRY "The girl was naked, save that she wore many strings of jewels and armlets. Too, she wore bracelets and anklets of gold, which had been locked upon her, and were belled. Her collar, too, was of gold, and belled. A single pearl, fastened in a setting like a droplet, on a tiny golden chain, was suspended at the center of her forehead." - ROGUE OF GOR, Pg. 10 - 11
