A turban style chart helps you name a style and follow its folds. One picture shows four dastar styles on men's heads: Patiala Shahi, Dumalla, Morni and Wattan Wali. Another shows the tying of a Patiala Shahi in six numbered steps. A third shows five traditions side by side, from Sikh dastar to Omani massar. Type a style or occasion, such as wedding turban, and the chart is drawn for it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
