Origin obscure

Thought to be more than 5,000 years old, when cotton was first woven into pieces of fabric

Idea of beauty in Ancient India was that of a small waist, large bust and hips

The Sari seemed to be the perfect dress to accentuate thoseproportions

Clothing patterns have changed throughout the world,

 but the Sari has survived is the main piece of clothing women in rural India wear even

today
