Only took 3 hours of youtube to figure out how to tie this baby. And once I did, it's all I wanted to wear.
Shopping for saris in India is so. much. fun. Stores like Nallis and Fab India have floor to ceiling piles and piles of colorful saris in every material imaginable and every pattern possible. It takes serious self-discipline not to buy them all. :)
I think when we head back to the States, above all else, I'm going to miss wearing saris the most. They're pure magic.
ps...Vintage photos of how to wrap a sari.
"The Sari, it is said, was born on the loom of a fanciful weaver. He dreamt of Woman. The shimmer of her tears. The drape of her tumbling hair. The colors of her many moods. The softness of her touch. All these he wove together. He couldn't stop. He wove for many yards. And when he was done, the story goes, he sat back and smiled and smiled and smiled." (source)
