Saree and a Short History of Indian Textiles
By Vickie Chao |
|
1 Back in the old days, people of different cultures wore traditional clothes for day-to-day activities. For men, their outfits were usually variations of shirts and pants. For women, their dresses were much more assorted and diverse. Today, however, things are no longer so. Nowadays, people of different cultures tend to get clothes off the racks of department stores and shopping malls. They cram those factory-made clothes into their wardrobes and only wear traditional garments on special occasions. Thankfully, the trend is not prevalent everywhere. In India, women still wear saree (also spelled as sari) everyday as their ancestors had done for the past thousands of years. The dresses' styles and designs are so popular that clothing designers worldwide often incorporate them into their own work of art.
