A traditional wrapped garment from India. Worn over a foundation skirt (ghagra) and cropped shirt (choli), the sari is folded and wrapped around the body.
the traditional dress of a Hindu woman. Actually, the sari is not a Hindu garment at all, but is a convenient way to wear thin layers of cloth that allow enough air circulation around the female form to keep cool, but still cover enough of the body to appear modest. A sari is most usually a very long piece of cotton cloth that is either dyed or embroidered with patterns. It is worn over a short, tight top with short arms and a thin underskirt of plain cotton. The sari is wound and pleated around the waist; as the layers are put on, they are tucked into each other. The end of the cloth is draped over the shoulder of the woman from front to back and can be used to cover the face and head when modesty is required. The midriff is left bare.

The traditional Indian dress worn by Indian women - six yards long as a rule.
Traditional woman's dress. A piece of cloth usually 6 yards long by a bit more than a metre wide. It is tucked into the petticoat around the body, pleats are made on the front to allow walking, and the remainder of the sari comes up over the front of the blouse and is "thrown" (delicately arranged, in fact) over the left shoulder. The part that hangs behind the back is called the pallu. It is often prettily decorated, but if you are unlucky it may be a colour that yells with the rest of the sari. Loud contrasts are appreciated here in a way that baffles western colour-taste. The blouse worn under the sari (tight-fitting and short) and the petticoat are underwear (not fit to be seen in). Hence the problem of unsuspecting foreign women who wear petticoats as skirts... In some regions (Maharashtra is one) the traditional dress is the nine-yard sari. It is worn without a petticoat, and the bottom of the pleats are pulled up through the legs (front to back and back to front), making it almost a member of the trouser family.
