Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai?
For our first post, lets start out with something manageable; the choli.
Well, I hope manageable.
The choli, along with the sari, is probably one of the most recognized pieces of Indian women's clothing.
This seemingly simple, though often elaborately decorated garment, translated as "blouse" in English serves several functions. Namely though, it helps preserve modesty in covering the breasts while supporting them. In a place where the climate is so varied, but often rife with humidity and heat, yet where modesty is expected, the choli is the perfect piece of clothing for the job.
