A friend took me sari shopping today! It was overwhelming, but so much fun! I'm so glad Jaya went with me. Not only is she Indian, but she always looks so cute!
The shop she took me to was small, but they had sari fabric from floor to ceiling. There is no way to look through them all, so I told them the colors that I liked and they started pulling.
One of the things that I love about India is that everything is so
colorful.
This is the sewing room where they make the saris and the choli, which is the short bodice that is worn under the sari. The choli is made to your measurements after the sari is purchased.
Next they wrapped the sari for me, thank goodness. I kind of felt like
I was dressing up for a college
fraternity party.
This poor girl had no idea what she was getting herself into when she came to work today!
I may have to hire someone to come to my house to wrap it. I would hate for it to come untucked. I can just see me with my sari flapping in the wind! Fortunately there is a skirt that is worn underneath, but still...
So, there were several that
I really liked. How to pick
just one?

| This is just loosely wrapped. It looks much prettier than this when it's done right. |
