Foreigners in sari
Sari is international. Yes, foreigners love sporting the six-yard cloth, and you can judge how happy they are from their broad smiles. This traditional dress of India has found favor with the western world as never before.
Now you will find that more and more saree shops are cropping up in the west. Bored by the dullness of jeans and top, foreigners are now draping the saree on special occasions. Ethnic is in fashion, and what can speak better of the ethnicity than the traditional dress of India. Do you remember Oprah Winfrey wearing a saree when Aishwarya Rai went to her show? Yes, you got it.
Uniqueness is always in fashion. Hard to get handicraft work in a saree is cherished in the western world. Vibrant colors, zari work, intricate embroidery and latest designs, it is all there in a sari. Such beauty can charm anyone, be it an Indian or a foreigner.

Of course, the feel of buying a saree from a shop after looking at various designs and colors is missing when buying through the Internet, but if you don’t have a choice, then it is a good option. The good thing is that it will be delivered to your doorstep. Saves time.
A sari is draped in such a way that it emphasizes the hips and the bust. It exposes the waist, which aesthetically should be slim. A sari reinforces what the Hindus think a beautiful female body should be.
The one thing, which I find awesome, is how a six-yard long cloth is given shape and made into such a beautiful garment. The best thing about a sari is that the draping technique can be changed a bit to give you a different look. It is something, which you cannot get in a jeans or a skirt. A single saree worn differently will give you a different look. Isn’t that amazing!
