How do you wear Indian Saree?:Best Tutorials
72Well, this tutorial is for any non-Indian chick..sorry (lol..!) woman or girl or for those Indian girls who are growing abroad and do not know how to wear the Indian ethnic-wear, Saree.
Saree (also known as Sari) are considered exotic in most of the western countries, and women always look much nicer in sarees in my humble opinion. So, why not impress your loved ones, friends and family by wearing Indian Saree - perhaps for the next birthday party. Worried about how to wear this messy outfit? Here are some of the best materials and videos that I found on the web for you. Now, you all can wear a bit of Indian tradition.
Hope this Hub page is useful to you. Enjoy.
P.S. Please leave some feedback to encourage me. Thanks in advance.
Indian Saree is a Gorgeous Outfit for a Woman
Err...Can a non-Indian Girl Wear a Sari.. Why not?
First, Know the Basic Things
A saree consists of three parts.
- Petticoat: An underskirt hanging from the waist
- Blouse:Upper garment like a half-sleeve shirt
- Sari:This is a very long strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from four to nine metres in length, which can be draped in various styles.
The most common style is for the sari to be wrapped around the waist, with one end then draped over the shoulder baring the midriff.
The sari is usually worn over the petticoat , with the blouse forming the upper garment.
The blouse has short sleeves and a low neck and is usually cropped, and as such is particularly well-suited for wear in the sultry South Asian summers. A blouse may be "backless" or of a halter neck style. These are usually more dressy with a lot of embellishments such as mirrors or embroidery and may be worn on special occasions.

How do you buy an Indian Saree?
It is not difficult to purchase a Saree from your City or home. Yes.
- Direct Online Shopping from Saree Shops: There are trusted sites such as the famous Utsav Sarees which accpets online orders and ships to any part of the world.
- Buy it off eBay: Available from $50 to $400
- Get from nearest Indian Shops: Many cities now we have a sizeable Indian population so, you should know where you can find an Indian Store in your town. Always take an Indian friend with you for purchasing. Just in case.
- Ask somone from India: This is a good way if you don't trust online shopping or Indian stores. Find an Indian friend and ask him/her to shop for a best Indian saree (tell them what you are exactly looking for - search them through eBay or Utsav Sarees) and post it to you. Indian people are nice, so, they would do it for you.
