The sari looks really great and beautiful. But, makes me wonder, once draped would the masterpiece would even be visible on it. Somehow, it would have to be hooked on to shoulders to let the border fall through, otherwise the painting would be lost in pleats.
I doubt anyone buying the sari is ever gonna wear it. It would be more of a collectible for the big wigs!
