Saree Shopping


Aren't these fabrics goregous?

Today Suzie and I went shopping for saree's to wear to the holiday party this coming Friday. We should have brought a local with us, but luckily there were many women in the store buying sarees who gave us advice. There were so many beautiful fabrics to choose from (cotton, silk, polyesther, linen) -- I ended up picking a goregous black silk saree with red and gold flowers. We also had our blouses made at a nearby tailor, we'll pick them up this week to try the entire ensemble on. Saree's are hard to wear, imagine wrapping one long piece of fabric around and around to make this wrap style dress. We'll definitely need some help from our housekeepers to get dressed Friday night. I can't wait to see the entire outfit put together :)
