Vintage saris

my mum's Shalwar

16 of my mum's 20+ saris!

Gorgeous right? It's spun with gold thread

Most of the saris pictured above were bought on eBay. eBay can have some gorgeous (and useless) things, and this just proves it. Next time you are looking for a dress for a formal event, try a sari. Chances are, a used, vintage, formal sari will probably only put you off about US$25 plus under-garments.
The only problem now is trying to figure out how to tie it!
