My sole New Year's Resolution

[kenjari]

I've decided I'm going to buy myself a sari or two this spring. I've never put one on before, but the internet has plenty of written directions and there are instructional videos on YouTube. And I have a co-worker I can always ask for tips from.

I particularly like this sari:
Blue Silk

These are lovely, too:
Off-White Silk
Fawn Silk"

Ooooooooh! Now I want some of those salwar kameez.

Is this a specific site that has been recommended to you? I wouldn't know where to start looking for such things....

curious...

Any particular reason you want to wear a sari?

I've ordered salwar kameez from this site and had quite a good experience. Just remember that when you give them measurements for the salwar (or when choosing a standard size), the measurements are those of the garment, not your body.

Because I like the way they look. I've been watching a lot of Bollywood movie clips on YouTube, and I love the clothes.
Also, I have an Indian co-worker who wears saris and salwar kameez a lot, and I've always admired her outfits and how she looks in them. I finally got up the nerve to ask her where to shop for Indian clothes. She gave me some web sites and explained the undergarments that go with a sari, and was generally quite encouraging.

That blue sari would look lovely on you!

Oh my gosh, those are gorgeous!! (And surprisingly inexpensive, too!) I think you'd look great in any of those.

I will have to hop on the 'you would look great in these' bandwagon.
