Saree - Fashion Statement of Indian Women











Saree is an Indian Women’s statement to the world. This four to nine metre lengthy cloth-piece, called Saree is the core of Indian Fashion wear and is draped over the body in various styles.


The most common style is for the sari to be wrapped around the waist, with one end then draped over the shoulder baring the midriff. The sari is usually worn over a petticoat (pavava/pavadai in the south, and shaya in eastern India), with a blouse known as a choli forming the upper garment.


Saree is for all purpose - party wear, daily wear, bridal wear and has retained its beauty over centuries, by far the most elegant wear on planet.


It is versatile, multi-purpose and has retained its innocence through its original form but it has evolved in tremendous variety. A more feminine dress has never been seen anywhere.


They may be made in any textile and in many forms, most popular being Silk, Cotton, Crepe, Printed, Chiffon and Embroidered.


It is worn or draped in different styles in various regions of India. Like North Indian style is very different from South Indian style and Coogri style is daringly worn without a choli and with the pleats in front.

Indeed, saree stands out as most wonderful costume of Indian Women.
