‘Mundum Neriyathum’, which can be termed as a ‘two-piece’ sari item is the conventional dressing pattern of Kerala women. There will be one piece for the lower part of the body and another for the upper part. The material is created using superior quality cotton and the borders will have ‘zari (golden)’ border. Different colored threads are used at times in the border, to make the item more alluring. These days Kerala ladies wear this dress format during festival seasons and on special occasions.
