How to Remove an Indian Saree
In India, one of the first places to grow cotton, women wear long pieces of cotton fabric wrapped around their bodies in various ways. These pieces of fabric, typically five to six feet long, are called sarees or saris. Wearing a saree is considered an art form. Removing a saree and neatly folding it will make it easier to put on again.
