These are typically made out of recycled sari material. If you own a few you won't need to buy any new clothes for the summer.
There are many types of dress you can fashion out of these. The instructions may help, but it's best just to experiment on your own!
Unless you want to wear something underneath like a slip, head over to the store and buy some large safety pins to hold it in place.
For quite a few of the styles, it may be good to have a helper unless you are very flexible for reaching behind your back.
If you're like me, you'll stitch some of the dresses closed in just the way you like them.
Typically I prefer the plus sized version of these, even though I am not plus size personally. I like having the extra fabric to play with.
Learning how Indian ladies wear a sari on youtube can give you inspiration on how to wear these beautiful western versions of a sari!
The style is eccentric and bohemian and casual. But it's still a dress, and with the right accessories you can wear these to many different occasions.
With a blazer, flats, and stud earrings I have even worn them to work.
