My bestie, Tirah and I were on a Saree hunt for a bachelorette party. Lucky for us, we had my colleague, Sashi who was kind enough to be our tour guide in Little India, Klang. So last Saturday, we took a drive to Klang's Little India. It was our first trip there. We totally relied on Tirah's GPS for directions. Amazingly, one you are there, you will really feel as if you are in an Indian community. You know how people have this idea that they wouldn't like to go to India because the place is dusty and dirty? Little India is the place to go. At 8.45 am, they were all cleaning their shops (practically washing the floor). The shops there were already in business at 9am. There were a lot of selections there. The sarees on the display can go as high as RM5k. They were all pretty. We couldn't make up our mind on where to head first. Sashi suggested that we go to Chennai Palace because the designs are more exclusive, good quality at the reasonable price. Through enough, there were a lot of selections. They narrowed down 3 sarees for me to try on. Apparently, there are different ways of tying the sarees. I got my saree at the price of RM250 and Tirah got herself a lengha at the price of RM100. I learned quite a few things from Sashi that day.

Saree shopping 101:
1) Do not straight away judge a saree and decide that it's not suitable for you. Get the salesperson tp try it on you first then only judge.
2) Saree is not necessarily sexy. It actually depends on the way you tie it. Honestly, I think that saree is rather elegant.
3) There are so many ways of tying a saree. It takes time to learn but once you know the tricks, 1 saree can give you so many different kind of looks. (You can go to so many events with the same saree and still look different).
4) The top and inner skirt are sold separately but at a very affordable price.
5) Sometimes, it is best to have the top tailored for a better fit.
Anyway, here are some pictures:
