Bridal Dress
A Bridal Dress–sari or shari–is a strip of untied cloth. It spreads from four to nine meters in length. It is draped over the body in different styles. But clearly, the style of wearing a Bridal Dress differs from place to place. The most common style to wear a Bridal Dress is to the saree to be wrapped around the waist with the other end of the drape worn over the shoulder. This garment does not cover the stomach part of our body. A blouse also known as choli or ravika forms the upper garment over which the Bridal Dress is worn by women. This blouse has short has short sleeves and a low neck. It can be decorated with mirror or embroidered to make it more fancy and attractive so that it can be worn in different special events like on the wedding day. The Bridal Dress is worn over an underskirt or a petticoat (pavada in south and shaya in east India). It helps to hold the saree and tuck in the pleats of the saree in it. The color of the petticoat must also match the color of the saree which is important as it affects the whole presentation of the saree. If the whole saree and blouse is mirrored and embroidered, it would be best to wear it in various events especially, on the wedding day.
