But before dressing a sari, it must be taken into account that it is not just traditional women's clothing, but a special way of life. After all, Indian women wear it for centuries and every movement is filled with grace and plasticity. Do not rush and make sudden movements.

Probably, wrapping it from the first time alone does not work out and it will be necessary to train. But there are no unsolvable problems.
