My First Sari

Posted on February 13, 2018 by Patrice

Today is a Hindi Holiday and my sweet friend Mala spent time helping me purchase a sari. It was such a fun experience, so very different. You go sit and they bring beautiful Saris out to view. Men are the salesmen. If you want to try one they use a belt around your waist and then there is the art of wrapping and folding and tucking. After you choose. different shop for matching petticoat and weighted strip for the sari. Next stop a shop for a ready made under blouse. All done!
