Me in Sari

A sari is a strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from four to nine metres in length that is draped over the body in various styles. It is popular in India, Nepal,Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Burma and Malaysia. 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.^[1]

The sari is usually worn over a petticoat (pavada/pavadai in the south, "chaniyo" in the west and shaya in eastern India), with a blouse known as a choli orravika forming the upper garment. The choli has short sleeves and a low neck and is usually cropped, and as such is particularly well-suited for wear in the sultry South Asian summers. Cholis may be "backless" or of a halter neck style. These are usually more dressy with a lot of embellishments such as mirrors or embroidery and may be worn on special occasions. Women in the armed forces, when wearing a sari uniform, don a half-sleeve shirt tucked in at the waist. Saree developed as a garment of its own in both South and North India at around the same time, and is now a symbol for all of India.^[2]
