anyone know how to wear a sari?

how do i drape it? i found an old sari at the goodwill. it may be vintage; the silk seems pretty old. too old to really wear, and it's a little frayed at the hems...still, i've just gotta know.

 

hi kitty,

i found this one:

hope it's practicable. i never tried cause i don't have a sari. anyway i suppose it's really pretty, so please post a picture when you got it draped. hope, i'll find one too, some time.

by the way, do you see women wearing saris in the US a lot? here in berlin, you hardly find anyone doing that style at all, except native women from india, which i don't met very often, too...

what colour is your sari?

 

sari, but no

 

Quite possibly the worst fucking joke I've ever heard.

 

How exactly would you make a sari? is it just a long peice of fabric?

 

I'm so envious that you found one at a goodwill! I never find anything that cool!

 

My best friend grew up in India, and just recently moved here to the states with her husband, in fact, she just went back there today for a 2 month visit! She has dressed me up in a sari several times....if any of you have any questions I can ask her....sarees can be expensive, starting usually around $50, you are so lucky to have gotten one second hand. Did it have the matching blouse with it? There are many sites that show how to drape them, a petticoat is needed, and it is so much easier if you saftey pin the pleats to the petticoat, they are really rather simple once you learn how much fabric you need in what places

 

I wear mine but only around peeps who don't judge me

 

They make the best curtains or valances. So trippy and nice.
