Re: saris
I wore my first at my mamoon's wedding dawat, when I was 21. A few months later, I wore that same one to my parents' 25th wedding anniversary party.
I've got a nice collection of saris now that I'm married, Pakistani, India, Bengali. I wear them usually at some sort of wedding function. Can't wait to wear my new one at my BIL's Valima!
Chiffon ones are also great cuz they are so light and breezy! I forget I have anything on!!
