Polmas are traditionally three times the length of the wearer's height. They are versatile garments which can be wrapped around the body in many different ways: over the head to protect from sun and weather, or more simply around the waist and over the shoulder, the style most commonly worn by rural people.

During the Empire of Dor-en-Sann the wealthy developed more complex styles of clothing, with the simple polma reduced to kirtles or cloaks worn by peasant farmers and beggars. With the rise of Ororr, the polma was adopted as the simple clothing of pilgrims on the Great Pilgrimage to the holy site of Foratuna. Traditionally the pilgrim polma was made of simple raw linen cloth. In recent years the practice of pilgrims wearing a coloured fringe to denote their origin has become more common: greenplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigGreen
