Usage examples of "shintiyan".
She has had the assurance to modify the dress I put upon her, and was herself a butterfly: for, instead of the shintiyan, she had on baggy pantaloons of azure silk, a zouave of saffron satin hardly reaching to the waist, no feredjé, but a fez with violet tassel, her plait quite tidy, but her forehead-hair wanton, the fez cocked backward, while I got glimpses of her careening heels lifting out of the dropping slipper-sole and she is pretty clever, but not clever enough, for that butterfly escaped.
