The sari is a traditional garment worn by millions of women in South Asia (mainly in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in Pakistan, and Iran) whose origins date back to around 100 BC, in India. It is one of the rare clothing habits to have been preserved over time. The sari is a wide strip of fabric approximately 1.20 m wide by 5 to 6 m long. Its draping technique varies according to region, caste, occupation, religion, etc. The sari is worn over a petticoat and a tight bodice leaving the midriff bare. It is made of one piece, and was usually worn only by married women.
