Saree is an elegant attire if worn in the manner it is designed to be worn But these days there are so many versions none of them I would like to emulate.
There are restrictions when one is in a saree. Indian women specially the labour class however are seen working wearing a saree. They will tuck it up and do work such as lifting, digging, weeding, house work, swimming et al.
I appreciate the West who have outfits for different activities - gardening swimming, cycling, household chores, etc.
Of late I have not worn it but when I did I wore it while working in an office or attending formal functons .

@allknowing I haven’t seen the woman in years. Her husband has a girlfriend and he is a sugar daddy. It’s sad for his wife. She doesn’t speak English.

@TheHorse My mother wore sarees while working, while sleeping, casual and formal events. I wore sarees for work and functions, salwar kameez and now I wear pants and t shirts, kaftans and pant suits shrugs. Yes We have changed.

@allknowing Is Indian dress becoming more "westernized"?

There is not much more beautiful than a beautifully made clothing saree.

But totally murdered with the newer versions It is supposed to be a modest attire.

@allknowing 'Murdered' is probably the best word for it.
