Source(google.com.pk)Draped garments have been worn in the Indian subcontinent from very early civilizations to the present day. Many of the styles in which Indian women drape their saris today developed in the 19th century under colonialism. In that era styles of draping grew in number to indicate women’s status in the caste hierarchy, a social structure based on Indian concepts of purity and pollution. In the 20th century, a large number of Indian men wear cut and sewn garments, in either northern Indian or European-influenced styles. Women attending college or working in office jobs in cities all across India are increasingly doing the same since the 1980s. However, most Indian women continue to wear draped garments.
Chantal Boulanger, a scholar from France, has traveled extensively throughout India during the last six years, documenting styles of draping women’s and men’s garments. Through photography and interviews, she has collected both contemporary and seldom worn historical styles, as well as publicly and privately worn styles of sari draping.

Susheela Hoefer, Chantal Boulanger, and Hazel LutzDescription of the Sari
Sari is defined as both (1) a piece of cloth draped to form the main garment of a woman, and (2) a particular style of draping the cloth on the body of the wearer. A sari has two dimensions: its length, which may vary from two to nine yards, and its height, which varies from two to four feet. The design of most sari cloths includes five important parts, which must be learned in order to correctly drape a sari.
The upper border is usually the highest border when the sari is first tied onto the body or tucked into the petticoat waist. It is used for making the knot when the sari is first tied.
The lower border usually touches the feet when the wearer begins to drape the sari.
The pallav is usually the fanciest end of the sari. It often falls on the outside where its design can be seen.
The mundanai is the end of the sari that includes the pallav, but it is longer. It often covers the upper body and head of the wearer.
The mundi is the plainer end of the sari. It is often draped to the inside where it does not show. Saris today are usually worn with a blouse and an ankle-length petticoat with a draw-string waist. There are exceptions to this: Sari styles that form a trouser-like garment are usually worn without a petticoat, and some women do not wear stitched garments for religious occasions.
