Sari is the most commonly seen costume of unstitched cloth worn by women across South Asia. Varying in size, style, pattern, color and richness, it crosses all class and caste barriers, regional traditions and urban fashions continue to contribute to its repertoire of design forms. One end is generally tucked at the waist into a petticoat, pleated and then wound around the legs to make a long skirt reaching to the ankles; the remaining end is to be thrown over a shoulder or over the head.
These days, you have saris that come with a totally chic look. More than traditional attire, they look apt for wearing at parties. The latest craze is about a sari that has a ‘butterfly’ pallu. This pallu tapers or narrows at the part that is to be collected or pleated at the shoulders. From there, it again opens up like a fan and beautifully drapes around or can be just left like that.
It depends on the kind of party you are going to attend. If it is a traditional party like a wedding or a festival, consider dressing up in a traditional silk saree, along with some gold jewelry. You can get a great collection of silk sarees for traditional occasions in many different colors and borders.
