Origin obscure
Thought to be more than 5,000 years old, when cotton was first woven into pieces of fabric
Idea of beauty in Ancient India was that of a small waist, large bust and hips
The Sari seemed to be the perfect dress to accentuate thoseproportions
Clothing patterns have changed throughout the world,
but the Sari has survived is the main piece of clothing women in rural India wear even
today
