Re: Indian Modesty is different from Pakistani modesty
Not good choice in hot weather either but it can be modest if chosen that way. Sari worn in serials is mostly modest.
I think Salwar kameez is worn more in Pakistan but lehnga might be worn for special occasions.
I’ve not lived in a rural area but if that’s true then lehngas are longer in urban areas. Never seen a calf length lehnga. http://www.peachesandblush.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/lehenga.jpg
