What does SAREE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long piece of lightweight cloth, several metres in length, wrapped around the body as the traditional garment of women in South Asia, often draped over one shoulder and worn with a fitted blouse and underskirt.
A saree is not cut or sewn like most Western garments; instead the fabric is folded into pleats at the waist, tucked into a petticoat, and the loose end draped over the shoulder. Silk sarees embroidered with gold thread are traditional wedding wear, while cotton sarees suit everyday use in hot climates. The exact style of draping a saree varies by region, with dozens of distinct methods recorded across the Indian subcontinent. The garment has also become familiar internationally through South Asian communities and fashion.
How SAREE is used
Used worldwide when describing South Asian dress, both in everyday speech and in fashion writing.
