How to wear an Indian sari; many people in Antwerp or Brussels have seen Indian women walking around in long, flowing clothes and thought to themselves: how elegant these women are! The remarkable thing is that these ladies do not need a tailor or seamstress to dress elegantly. Their outer garment or “sari” is nothing more than a strip of fabric about six meters long, which they buy, along with colored ribbon, which they sew on as a hem. The photos show how to wear such a sari. What do you say, gentlemen? Shall we give our wives or mothers a sari as a gift for their next birthday?
