Clothes Explanation

I decided to give a better explanation as to the parts and types of Indian's women clothing.

The first type is of course, a saree. You might see it spelled sari, but here everyone spells it saree, so. It's just one long piece of fabric, which you wrap around yourself, and then pleat it in front, and wrap it around again, back on over one shoulder. It's quite beautiful looking, but let me tell you, it takes FOREVER to put on, even if you have someone help you! To get it looking perfect is quite hard.

Underneath the saree you wear a shirt called a choli. This cuts off right below the breasts, and dips quite low in the back and front. It makes for a very alluring outfit.

The other common dress is a salwar-kameez, though now these are always called suits. A salwar is pants, baggier, and the kameez is the long shirt worn over, usually in matching patterns, often beaded. Sometimes the pants are much tighter, but it depends on the suit. Of course you always have a matching scarf. Hopefully soon I can put up pictures!
