 Inspired by Gandhi's Swadeshi movement, Burmese nationalists also waged campaigns boycotting imported goods, including clothing, to promote the consumption of locally-produced garments.Clothing styles also evolved during the colonial era; the voluminous "taungshay" "paso" and "htamein" with its train, were abandoned in favor of a simpler "longyi" that was more convenient to wear.The female sarong ("htamein") became shorter, no longer extending to the feet, but to the ankles, and the length of the sarong's top decreased to reveal more waistline.
