A saree is a traditional Indian garment, worn by women, consisting of a long piece of cloth, typically six yards in length, that is wrapped around the body and worn over a skirt-like garment called a petticoat. The saree is draped over one shoulder, leaving the other shoulder and midriff exposed.

It is considered to be one of the most versatile and elegant traditional garments, and is widely worn across India and in Indian communities around the world. Saree’s come in a range of materials, from lightweight cotton to rich silks, and can be simple or heavily embellished with embroidery, beadwork, and other decorative elements. The way a saree is draped can vary from region to region and is an art form in itself, with many styles and techniques to master.
