Girl's Sari 

The graceful Sari/Saree is the national dress of India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Saris are worn in a variety of ways in different areas but the style shown here is the most common. They can vary in length from 5 to 9 yards according to the style. Each region also has its own traditional woven borders and designs.

For this style put on the blouse with the opening in front. Snip the tacking holding the pleats in place for packing and put on the sari so that the pleats are in front. The rest of the sari is wound round the body once and then pleated over the left shoulder. The palloo which hangs down the back and can be used to cover the head, is usually more decorative than the rest of the Sari.
