Nauvari

The Nine Yard Saree

What called my attention to this saree were the books "The Whole Nine Yards" (which I hope to own) and "Sari: Tradition and Beyond" (which I do own, and more about it later).  

The book "Sari: Tradition and Beyond" presented beautiful saree drapes I wanted to try, and guess what, they were nine yard sarees.  Nine yards?!? I have six yard wonders, so far, and not one nine yard saree.

My initial search revealed that the Nauvari isn't in high demand (the draping is becoming a lost art), and it's worn by brides (red and gold) and older women.  Doesn't matter, my quest is on.  I want to own one. 

Oh you must enjoy AND save the versatility of the nine yard saree!
