There is not another garment on the planet that will ever compare with a sari. It would have to be the most elegant, feminine, exotic clothing ever. My daughter spent 3 months in India and she said no matter how poor or how old Indian women are beautiful in their wonderful saris. She said she misses them most of all. Little do a lot of Westerners know is that a sari is a 15 foot long straight piece of fabric. That’s it. When they reach a certain age they are given their first sari and taught how to wrap and tie them. I collect sari fabric and the variations never end and then there are wedding saris. My doctor is Indian and a tiny woman. She told me her wedding sari (which are always red) weighed 20 kilos because of the gold thread embroidery. Beautiful, just beautiful.
Peta, the saree most certainly is the most effortlessly (for it’s unstitched) elegant garment and it truly is unmatched. We, for one, love it!
