A sari (sometimes also saree [1] or sadi) [note 1] is a drape (cloth) [2] and a women's garment in the Indian subcontinent. [3] It consists of an un-stitched stretch of woven fabric arranged over the body as a dress, with one end attached to the waist, while the other end rests over one shoulder as a stole, [4] [5] sometimes baring a part of the midriff.
Women typically wear a red, green or gold traditional blouse under the veshti while men sometimes wear a formal shirt. The cost of a "kasavu set" or "kasavu settu" comprising the mundu and veshti varies according to the width of the gold borders. Borders can range from 3/4" or less, to 6" or more in width.
