Ethnic Indian wear
Millions of Indian women dress up every day with a long cloth wrapped around his body. This is the sari,
surely one of the most famous in the world women's clothing.
They come in silk of different qualities, but also cotton. It is that this garment is not only used on special
occasions, but also in everyday life, whether to go to work, clean the house, go to the market or exit to
dinner.
Wherever you go in India you find women dressed in a sari walking barefoot dirty and dusty towns. And
yet they do it with an almost ethereal elegance that makes you think that it is the easiest and most
comfortable thing you can imagine. But it's not that easy.
Before you start wrapping the sari around the body, two other garments must be: the choli (which
would be something like a top) and a petticoat to give volume around the legs preventing the sari go
poking including walking.
After wearing those clothes, it's time to start placing the sari, without knots, without pins, only the fabric
itself and petticoat or choli as places to hold it.
The first thing you do is place the Indian women Pallu, the showiest part of the sari on the shoulder.
Depending on the height of the woman needs to leave more or less fabric and it depends on how the
rest of the garment is placed.
Having made such a move, it's time to start winding the fabric around the body. In contrast to pallu on
the hip end is positioned and start making folds that attach to the waistband of the petticoat volume
and giving freedom to walk. Then the rest of the fabric over the hips and Pallu is placed on the shoulder.
Almost six meters of cloth wrapped around the body and creating one of the most elegant women's
clothes imaginable.
With those instructions in, I ventured out wearing one cotton dress for dinner on the terrace. I do not
think I would have ventured out into the street dressed like that even remotely with that wonderful
garment.
In my trips to India I have always crossed with many women wearing this fantastic garment. Wherever
they are, the look with a natural elegance, the one who is not aware that what she wears is gorgeous,
and that for them is so ordinary that only you pay special attention when you wear one for your
wedding or any date indicated. But they are always beautiful and in spectacular colors wherever they
go.
Then of course upper class women and actresses whom you can see in movies and magazines looking
spectacular saris decorated with all kinds of jewels.
As for where to buy one of these items will only depend on the quality you want. In the market of any
city you can buy cotton saris for less than 1000 rupees. If you are the online shopping kind, Jabong
Sarees have all the variety you could get your eyes on. If you want something more special in all major
cities of the country, there are places where these fabrics are stacked on each other to occupy the entire
space of the store, and then, of course, luxury shops where you can buy the finest silks and saris for
special occasion.
