Okay, I've been a little side-tracked but, as promised, here's a little India Style 101 (which is about as much as I can manage). Yesterday, was a big Kerala holiday called Onam All the women in our office from Kerala wore either Sarees or Set Mundus (pictured). They were all really simple, but beautiful--stiff monochoramatic cotton or silk with iridescent gold embroidery around the borders. Anyway, I made the mistake on complimenting someone on her saree, and she informed me that it was, actually, a Set Mundu (or, Set and Mundu). A handy-dandy two-piecer, which seems like it might have lots of Westernizing style possibilities . . . Set and jeans, anyone?
