Sari or Saree?
It depends on who you ask, or which storefront you’re looking at.
We celebrated the opening of a sewing center in one of the villages nearby this weekend. So, for the occasion, we turned it up a notch and the women wore saris. I actually had to be assisted to get dressed and the blouse-piece was tailored just for me. It made me feel like I was getting married again or something. And, I actually felt quite pretty when all was said and done.
And the fun begins!
The kind lady assisting me and my friend Carole was the receptionist at the hotel. It seemed effortless to her, but I was amazed!
All those yards of fabric somehow become a dress!

It just so happens that it was Independence Day when we were there. So, at breakfast we were given the flags to wear.

Awesome! I love it!
Oh, and the best part was that the total cost (tailoring and all) was less than 15 USD. Can you believe that?
