Thought the same thing. My neighbors are Paks. The husband has been here 40 years and his wife for 12. She wears exactly the same attire as the picture. I also taught a lot of Paks in jhs in Queens. Those mothers at open school who did not dress western also wore the attire in the pic. Now there are a lot of Paks in Saudi and the emirates, but mostly males working the oil fields or construction..Females, not so much. I was dead wrong yesterday when I said think Bruce Willis and Die Hard as the comparison, but now I’m thinking The Americans.
The dress is common to the subcontinent. It is a sari.
