| What is a Sari | |
|
A sari is a rectangular piece of cloth which is five to six yards in length. |
|
|
Saris are available in a number of fabrics, like pure silk, cottons and synthetics in various colours and are embellished with embroidery, gold thread work or painting, cutwork. |
|
|
The sari is worn with an underskirt of a similar shade and a matching or contrasting blouse or choli. |
|
|
The sari has an ageless charm since it is not cut or tailored for a particular size, it can fit any size and if worn properly can enhance many types of figures. |
|
|
It can be worn in several ways and its manner of wearing it depends on the part of India you are from. |
