I wished she’d put on that saree!

Put that darn saree on…!

I don’t think she is complaining about not having a matching blouse (bikini-top works just fine as a top)!

I don’t care what you say, this is NOT a saree!

There is no way you can tuck in a saree in a thong, and there is no way the thong can hold the saree, even if the saree is transparent and light and less than 6 yards.

I am just kidding, but these days with the designs of the blouses being what they are, the boundries between different types of apparel are blurring.

Forget Kilts, What Do They Wear Under Their Saree?

Mrs. Smith has a delightful post:

Ever wondered how a saree stays on? I figured it was some ancient Indian folding technique passed down from mother to daughter. Maybe a few safety pins thrown in for good measure. No, there is a secret that nobody tells you. Not the people who sell you the saree, not the tailor who makes the blouse to go with it, not even your American friends who are supposed to be smarter than you. They wear a petticoat! They tuck the saree into the elastic waistband of the petticoat! My only contact with a petticoat up to this point in my life was “Petticoat Junction”, an old show that I used to watch the reruns of as a kid. I could sing the theme song for you, but that’s not really pertinent.

Twenty minutes passed and Camla came upstairs to help me make a dress out of a huge piece of fabric and I was waiting for her in my blouse and my underwear. That’s right. Poor Camla, she was so embarrassed and just didn’t know how to explain to me that I was missing a vital part of the whole saree ensemble. Finally she flipped up the end of her own saree to show me her petticoat. I was mortified. Eventually we found something that would work for the night and off I went. “Why is she telling us this?” you might ask. You are just full of questions today! This week Mr. Smith received another invitation to another wedding. This time my saree will be green, as will my brand new petticoat.

Mrs. Smith looks gorgeous in her saree.

We have talked about the petticoat before. It is the most under appreciated and most vital part of the saree.

It was less than 100 years ago when women did wear the saree without the petticoat and not the thick cotton sarees but the thinnest ‘makhmali’ transparent sarees!

A sari for cheating in an exam

PATNA: Wearing printed saris is not uncommon among the women of Patna. But wearing a sari with answers printed on them is really an uncommon sight. And that too inside an examination hall.

A woman copying her answers from the sari she was wearing at RPM College, Patna City, in the ongoing degree part-II honours examinations of Magadh University (MU) was caught by a special team from the Raj Bhawan led by Krishna Kumar, OSD to the chancellor, during its surprise raid on Saturday.

Answers to different probable questions were written in fine handwriting on the pleats and borders of the sari worn by the examinee.

Now that is a creative use of a saree.

They should start selling sarees in 4GB, 6GB and 12GB version, depending on how much text you can fit in there.

How to wear a saree t-shirt

This is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time!

A T-Shirt with instructions on how to wear a saree! I guess sometime it can serve as an excuse for why you are not wearing a saree!

A sari is a complicated piece of clothing. Sure it’s silky and sexy and some cultural situations require you to wear one. But isn’t a tshirt so much easier? Perfect for a trip to the mall or the local indian eatery, this tshirt is super comfortable, totally modest, and comes with instructions if you change your mind!
