Printed cotton Sari is made in the western region of India – Rajasthan and Gujarat. Printed cotton saris are considered very elegant and are often worn by office going women. These saris are also very light on body.

A Sari is the most commonly seen costume of unstitched cloth worn by women across South Asia. Varying in size, style, pattern, color and richness, it crosses all class and caste barriers, regional traditions and urban fashions continue to contribute to its repertoire of design forms.

Each area in India has its own distinctive method of draping a sari. One end is generally worn tucked at the waist into a petticoat, pleated and then wound around the legs to make a long skirt reaching to the ankles; the remaining end may be thrown over a shoulder or over the head. A widow is frequently expected to wear a white saree, older women wear dark tone, while bright colures are reserved for younger women. Wedding saris are often red, as it is an auspicious color; although in Kerala they tend to be white. A sari may vary in length from about three to eight meters and is usually considered in three parts: a field, an end-piece and borders along the length. The field may be plain, printed or embroidered, with plain or patterned borders. The width and decoration of the borders are dictated by regional variations and often help to distinguish between areas of origin. The end-piece (pallu or palan) is usually draped over the shoulder and may be embellished.
