Petticoat

The saree is draped over a long skirt, also know by the term "Petticoat". It is also known as saaya. The Saree Petticoat is a must when wearing a sari and is the key to the overall shape of the saree.

The Petticoat is worn just above or below the bellybutton and functions as a support garment to hold the saree. The petticoat must be ankle length, and threaded at the top with elastic or a thin cotton tape to tie it around the waist comfortably. Saree Petticoats usually match the color of the saree.
