The pleasure of wearing a sari

The personal pleasure of draping this unstitched fluid garment over and around the body, adjusting it with little tucks and pulls to suit one's own particular form, is sensuous. It creates a picture of flowing grace that conceals as much as it reveals. Though the sari is simply a rectangular piece of fabric, it nevertheless divided into parts conceived as a form when it is finally shaped around the body. Each of the divisions has a defined purpose, distinct but completely integral to the whole.
