Sjennon sees the World #43 - Trying on my Gifted Saree! [When a White Chick wears a Saree]
When I was in Delhi, I had received a saree as a gift from @things' mom
Now, back in Mangalore @geetharao, a woman who is an incredible sweetheart, managed to finish my saree outfit with a petticoat and a top.
A sari, saree, or shari is a female garment from the Indian subcontinent[1] that consists of a drape varying from five to nine yards (4.5 metres to 8 metres) in length and two to four feet (60 cm to 1.20 m) in breadth that is typically wrapped around the waist, with one end draped over the shoulder, baring the midriff. - Wikipedia
I absolutely love the saree and it's print. I really do prefer a darker color as super fancy, colorful colors don't really match well with pale ass skin. Besides that, the print is nice and neutral and one important key factor: no glitter. Yes, I am a girl. No, I am not girly.
The fabric of the saree was a really nice and fragile one. It is semi-translucent blue and feels really gentle on the skin. And a bit slippery. I just need to wear it a bit lower as I have loong long legs.
So when the set was finally done and ready, there was nothing else to do but to try it on!
Obviously, my ass was a bit shy.

Oh! You look great wearing the pretty Indian sari!! :)
You definitely look gorgeous in the saree @sjennon ! I never really tried saree myself before as it has a little too much work for me to wear it. So I have decided to opt for borrowing Punjabi's traditional wear instead during my former colleague's engagement celebration.
I have heard there is a compromised (or more to say, improved) saree versions in Malaysia where it allows non-regular saree wearing individuals to slip on the saree in an easier fashion and the sides won't slide off easily. I wonder does Mangalore have an option for that?
Thank you! I really appreciate hearing that, however in my opinion it's quite weird for caucasians to wear it. I feel it doesn't show off as nice as it does on a darker skin. Mostly due to the colors I think.
What kind of improved saree are you talking about? Sounds interesting! Though, Indian fashion has a lot of variety. Not sure if it's applied or acceptable.
Good travel @sjenon. May i hope be enjoy and happy.
