One of my favorite pastimes here in India is shopping, and most of my purchases have been clothing related. So, I figured it wouldn't hurt to show off some of the fantastic clothing items available here in India, so the blog is hosting a fashion show. Unfortunately, all the skinny, anorexic models were unavailable, so I'm filling in. (or filling out, whichever you prefer.) Each day I'll post a pic and a quick description.
The above is one of my four saris. I love the color of this one, but I especially love that the tailor across the street was nice enough to "Americanize" my saris so I can easily wear them. Instead of the horrendously long sheet that requires skilled hands to wrap and tuck properly, my saris have the pleats sewn in, so I basically jump into the bottom like a skirt, attach the ties at my waist, wrap it once around me, and toss the rest (also pre-pleated) across my shoulders. Tada! Dressed. Still getting used to my belly hanging out though.
