My mother-in-law just sent me a prestitched sari from Pakistan. Thanks to videos like this....I can now say I know how to wear it. My next thing to accomplish is how to properly wear a paranda (braid with tassels). If anyone knows of a video or detailed instructions.....please send me the link. Thank you. :o)

excellent tradition of India, There is nothing as beautiful to look an Indian girl in saree, it develops a respect towards the women, Jai ho.

I live in Newfoundland, Canada

where do u live

so ur latin and ppl think ur indian.? lolz luCky u im indain/latin/black people think im african american.! my parents dnt even live in the USA lolz

I just love the look of a Sari. I have never gotten to try one or wear one cause of where I live. The material is just beautiful looking.

Me too! If you could see me you wolud say I'm Indian, even people in the supermarket talt to me in their language!!!I love saris!

I agree with you 100%. I live in FL, and I know in Orlando there is a large Indian community, but here in my town is mostly latin (like me!). The latina women think the sari is a "lot of fabric" (trapero in spanish) and I would like halloween if I wear one, but ohhhh, I'm dying to wear it!!!

The sari are very underated! I love the style. My next formal engagement I plan to wear one. I Cant WAIT!

When I finish the drape, I oftentimes find the pallau is way too long. What am I doing wrong? I'm only 4 ft 11, BTW...Also, can somebody post a good vid of the Gujarati drape? The ones here on Youtube aren't the best. Also, I need to know how to pleat the pallau for Gujarati style.

I wholeheartedly agree!Unfortunately, I'm from the Southeastern USA and it's not very diverse in my locale. I have to get 100% of my stuff from Ebay. There's nowhere to get petticoats, cholis, heck, not even an actual saree. I do see lengths of "sari fabric" in the cloth stores, couldn't one just buy 5 yards of it, hem the raw edges and wrap as a saree....most times the bolts are already 45 inches wide?I plan to get many more; I taught myself to drape one and do a pretty good job.

I agree. Before HINDU referred to the religion, it referred to the region beyond the [h]Indus river. Coincidentally, we still have a word that still applies for this meaning -- INDIAN. Exact same word, in origin . . . but a LOT less likely to be misunderstood over the internet. . . .In short, it's not very USEFUL to say 'Hindu garment' -- and yet the term is not entirely incorrect, in the most technical sense.I'm just waiting for someone to start talking about 'Gangetic garmets' next. :7

I'm glad I saw this! I tend to pleat BEFORE I throw the pallu over my shoulder. This looks like it may hang better. Doesn't stretch awkwardly at the chest.I wish there were more videos for sari styles beyond your average nivi. I am particularly interested in the long kaccha styles of Maharashtra, and I have yet to see these properly represented on YouTube. 'Tis most discouraging.

I think i'll buy a sari, i'm in a band called global groove, the music we play there comes from all around the world, so i think it would be nice to have a sari for performance.

I wanted to be Indian and wear saree since I was 5. Maybe we were Indian in a past life,

I think the sari is a lovely and elegant garment. Good for you for not feeling limited by ethnicity.

You both look beautiful. When I was little I secretely wanted to be Indian just so I could wear the sari without looking like a poser. I still secretely do.

I love this lady! She has a kindness in her voice. The saree is for all women! Lighten up! I am a white woman who owns more than 300 sarees and when I am wearing the saree many indian women tell me how great It looks and how neatly I have draped it. I have never had anyone tell me anything adverse. Everything has its origin. The saree is fast becoming high fashion.

next you psychos will be saying that the tuxedo is a christian attire !stupid

Do you understand that I was explaining the ORIGIN of the sari and the principles that it was created under? I wasn't talking about modern day women and their pins. How Santhana Dharma is practiced today is another topic for another day. Do you know some Muslims don't wear Hijab today, does that make Islamic code about covering-up irrelevant? Don't reduce the origin of the sari or the principles it was born from, and the religion it encompasses, Shantana Dharma (Hinduism). You're outdated.
