Formal Silk Saree

A saree consists of a blouse, skirt, and a long fabric up to 9 yards in length. It is typically pleated and wrapped around the waist with one end draped over the shoulder.

*We highly recommend ordering a "Pre-Wrapped" Sari*

Formality is based on design, material type, and embroidery heaviness (similar to western dresses).
