Sari - dress of Hindu goddesses and ordinary Indian women

On the pages of magazines and sites, you have probably seen more than once Indian beauties in bright outfits trimmed with precious stones and embroidered patterns. The fabric they wear is called a sari.

Sari is the traditional dress of women living in India. Appearing many centuries ago, such an outfit was made from a long piece of canvas in the form of a rectangle. Women wrapped themselves in such a canvas, draping it to emphasize the curves of the figure and hide possible flaws.

Centuries later, sarees are still popular. This is the casual and smart dress of Indian women, as well as the original attire of women in other countries. With the help of a sari, beauties can demonstrate their femininity, grace and grace.

The product is a seamless canvas 5-9 meters long and about 1 meter wide. Under it, a woman puts on a skirt, which is slightly shorter than a sari, and a blouse called a choli. The blouse will often match the color of the skirt and saree, although if the saree is solid color, the finish of the blouse may differ.

Many legends are associated with the appearance of the sari in the wardrobe of Indian women. According to one of them, such a dress was created on a magic loom by a weaver who dreamed of an ideal woman. He combined in the canvas all the qualities that should be in such a beauty, having received incredibly beautiful and long clothes.

Another legend connects the origin of the sari with the Pandava king, who lost his fortune and his own family in gambling. The last loss of the king was his wife. Enemies wanted to get her naked, wanting to disgrace the woman, but could not unwind the clothes.The Pandava consort was protected by Krishna by dressing her in a sari.

By carefully examining the fabric of a sari, its colors, drapery and ornament, you can learn a lot about the girl you see such a dress on. Sarees are mostly made from silk, chiffon or cotton. The quality of the material indicates the wealth of the wearer of the sari.

Only men are involved in the production of Indian saris. One outfit is produced over a long period of time (about 6 months). A sari cannot be called a cheap outfit, but such a thing serves for a very long period and is often passed on to descendants.

At first glance, most sarees are similar to each other, but this is not at all the case. Each outfit is unique, and there are more than a dozen ways to drape them.
