How to wear a sari...

Yesterday, another cotton sewn package arrived from India, addressed to me. I had found the last one a little disappointing, so I contained my excitement quite easily and waited for the rest of the family to come home before opening it.
But I was wrong; it proved to be a veritable treasure trove. Inside, amongst other delights was this:

A sari of heavy embroidered silk, and what is more, a sari made to be worn in Brittany. See how the colour is almost indistinguishable from the lush grass of our Breton lawns. See how it has what appear to be daisies scattered upon it. I suppose the blue is a bit too blue for our Breton skies, but you can’t have everything. Maybe it is rainproof...

Now I must master the art of draping it about me. It looks a little bit frightening, and I worry about getting lost inside it and being unable to get out again alive. I could starve to death before I found the exit. Still, it will go well with my green wellingtons.


I have found this wonderful video, and now I feel more confident. I just have to make the underwear…
