Tying a Sari
What is a sari? The sari goes back to 2800-1800 BC where cotton and silk were woven in the northern parts of India and made into meters of cloth used to drape over women. Typically 5-9 yards of fabric are worn in special ways to comfortably cover a women's body. The three-piece ensemble is made up of a bando type cloth, representing the blouse, which covers the chest area, the lower garment that is decoratively folded pleats that fall between the legs, acting as a free-flowing skirt, and the upper garment drape that falls over the shoulder and traditionally used to cover the women head.

How to Dress Like a Goth (Without Looking Terrible)
It was only about ten or fifteen years ago that the goth scene was something to be afraid of.
