"Go through a fashion magazine or browse fashion websites online and write about a style you love."

___________________________

Not exactly a style but then maybe it is one.

Or rather it is a style statement.

An ancient one, antiquated and old

Should be out dated but one which is always modern.

A contradiction, a free flowing drape with a structured fall.

An antithesis, of classy weaves and simple folds.

An artist's canvas for an ordinary woman.

Soaring imagination trapped in yarn and thread

An everyday wear crafted by a master.

Fit for a princess and perfect for a bride

Suitable office wear and comfortable at home

Woven in gold, silver, or plain coloured strands

Capturing life and nature in equal measure

A myriad shades and a thousand hues

Or a single colour shifting in the light

A ubiquitous garment that can be worn in a million ways

Then made into a cradle or used to wipe sweat away

Carrier of memories and harbinger of dreams

And passed from mother to daughter as a keepsake

It is a six yards of woven wonder

The simple saree, but so extraordinary, it is magical
