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.[6][7][8] It may vary from 4.1 to 8.2 metres (4.5 to 9 yards) in length,[9] and 60 to 120 centimetres (24 to 47 inches) in breadth,[10] and is a form of ethnic wear in Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and Nepal. There are various names and styles of sari manufacture and draping, the most common being the Nivi style.[11][12] The sari is worn with a fitted bodice also called a choli (ravike or kuppasa in southern India, and cholo in Nepal) and a petticoat called ghagra, parkar, or ul-pavadai.[13] It remains fashionable in the Indian subcontinent today.[14]
