The Sari


The Sari can often have up to 9 yards of  beautiful fabric.  The word Sari comes from a Sanskrit word meaning 'strip of cloth'  and it is  is often made in spectacular fabrics in glowing colours and embellished with jewels or mirrors and bordered with beautiful patterns made with gold or silver threads .  Bollywood movies have made the Sari more familiar in western society but it  has not really made much headway in western culture.   Elizabeth Hurley, Angelina Jolie and Helen Mirren have all worn the Sari to great effect .
