Greetings M'Lady.

If I may ... I also struggled with that very question.  I being a lady
living in Southern Wales, have had the opportunity to travel with my
merchant father when we visited the Far East.  It was while I was there that
I realized the custom of dress.

I look forward to traveling back to that land and getting the opportunity to
wear the saree I purchased while there.

In service,
Ceinwen~
