Love this saree ad – I know it shows a lot more skin than ‘necessary’ and as they say “it appeals to the prurient interest”, but I find it to be sexy in an overt way and it captures the sexiness of the saree when it is draped right. The whole purpose of an ad is to capture the specific qualities of the subject and highlight it in an interesting way and I think this ad does that.
