Sarees are an eternal favourite of Indian women. The grace and elegance of this piece of garment is unmatched. What was a natural and daily wear attire for lakhs of women across the length and breadth of India, is increasingly becoming a festive wear garment (at least in urban India). Having said so, a saree is just a beautiful apparel to stock in your closet.
This is a garment one must patronise. Why, one would want to know? Well, there are several reasons. First, it is best suited to deal with the largely hot and humid country that India is. Second, many Indian women tend to have full frames and a saree does the twin magic of covering the flaws while highlighting the positives wonderfully well. Third, India has a strong weaving tradition and livelihoods depend on it. By picking handloom sarees, many of us would be helping our fellow countrymen. Fourth, it is the Indian formal wear for women - when draped well, it makes us look slimmer and taller and who would mind that?
