WOW! very simple and nice!

[ryusharra]

fabulous! clear, easy to follow and two beautiful saris. I'm an african american woman in the United States and love wearing the sari. It's simple to wear, very functional, beautiful, and everyday saris don't cost a lot of money and you look very feminine without a lot of fuss. There's a reason they've been worn for thousands of years. Even Indian women who see me love the sari and compliment me. You can buy saris to fit any budget or occassion. Thank you so much.

@ryusharra Thanks for the nice words....:)

I'm a foreign student in Paris of Indian-descent, and well, here we're used to see Equisitely made and very Colourful traditional African robes worn by many people of Sub Saharan descent living in the city...

I think that if everybody instead of wearing in a repeatitive manner the same dress code everyday could vary their outfit now and then with Dresses and garments coming the world over that would be great

A great source of inspiration for fashion

@suresh2009ful We agree that the sari is a traditional Indian garment and that it is extremely beautiful but Indian girls definitely have the right to choose what they want to wear. I also think you haven't been to India recently but many of the Indian homegrown girls now wear shorts and tank tops! India is now on par with most Western nations in terms of modern clothing, so you really need to think before you speak! Your statements and opinions as a man are random, they have no real bearing!

lovely sari!!!!

@summertimeposse : I got your replay. Other contries have their own traditional dress. In india traditional dress is sari only. When we think about an indian girl or women , we will see in our mind , a girl or women wearing sari only. So indian girls or womens should wear sari only. One another thing is that indian traditional dress is best of all dresses in the world.

@suresh2009ful : only in countries like India right? Not in several other parts of the world! Other countries have their own traditional dresses, that span centuries and centuries of history. Are they supposed to abandon their histories and wear a sari instead? And why should other dresses be banned for Indian women either? Why shouldn't they have the right to choose? If Indian women are supposed to only wear the sari, then Indian men should only wear the dhoti!
