Sari or saree is a strip of un-stitched cloth, worn by females, ranging from four to nine yards in length that is draped over the body in various styles which is native to the Indian Subcontinent. (according to wikipedia) The day before, I had an opportunity to try to wear sari! And it was very exciting. It was more gorgeous than I even imagined 🙂
サリー (ヒンドゥスターニー語: sāṛī) は、インド･ネパール･スリランカ･バングラデシュ･パキスタンなど南アジア地域の女性が着用する民族衣装である。(wikipediaより〕おとといは滞在しているリトリートのカルチャープログラムの一環でサリーの着付け教室に参加した。見たことはあるけれど着たことはないサリー。クラスが始まる前から友達と大盛り上がり。実際着てみるとそれは思っていたよりもっともっと素敵はドレスだった。
The opportunity was part of cultural program the retreat provided and we were supposed to learn how to put on sari. The reason why I say "supposed to" is because we didn't learn anything else than it is very difficult to dress it. We just admired how our teacher/receptionist who wears sari everyday helped us get us dressed! We were also too excited about wearing sari (New experience!!!) to try to focus on which end of the clothes we should hold, where it should go and where we put the pins.
着付け教室というからには着付けを習うというのが目的だったが… 初めてのサリーに大興奮のわれわれ生徒、それにとっても難しいサリーの着付け。受付嬢兼着付けの先生が着付けしてくれるのを見て "わ～お" と感嘆の声をあげ自分たちの写真を撮る以外あまりまじめにに学習しなかった我々。クラスが終わっても興奮は続いたが、結局着付けはわからないまま〔笑。
Even though we didn't really learn how to wear it, it was absolutely lovely experience! Sari is a beautiful dress! Should I buy sari now? I am tempted 😉
そんな我々ではあるが、思ってたよりもっともっと素敵なサリーを買って帰ろうか迷い中〔笑。
