Have you ever tried wearing a sari? It’s a little more elaborate than a typical American outfit (shirt and jeans or a simple dress, for example). First, the blouse is worn (blouses vary in styles and embellishments). Then a floor-length petticoat is tied at the waist, while the upper part of the sari is tucked into the petticoat and wrapped around the body. The rest is draped over the left shoulder, often fastened with a safety pin to prevent it from falling off. While a bit challenging for beginners to learn, mastering the process of dressing in a sari brings a lot of elegance and pride to the women that wear them.

You’re real. We’re real. Ok, everyone’s real.

But our point is – everybody can wear Mata! People you walk by on the sidewalk, people with babies or dogs or purses or carrying groceries. People that like to get dressed up and people that are more comfortable in casual clothes. Singers, runners, relaxers, go-getters –really, anyone.
