I don't know if I can pull off wearing a Lotus Wrap?

Everyone loves the fact that you can do anything with the wraps. Lotus Wraps are a great option to either dress up or dress down and wear any occasion you'd like. With being reversible, they are great for swimsuit cover ups, wear when you do your outside gardening, can be worn over your favorite pair of jeans, wear leggings under the wrap when it's cold out, wear boots if you live in the snow, wear flip flops if you live at the beach or when it's warm out ;)! Each wrap can be worn with tank tops, sweaters, zip up hoodies, cardigans, jean jackets the list goes on and on.

What is so great about your Lotus Wraps?

Sometimes it's difficult to buy skirts on-line because you don't get a chance to touch and feel it or try it on. That's what is nice about my wrap skirts, they fit almost everyone and look great on everyone! The only thing you'll have trouble with is trying to pick the one you want. I get a lot of comments from customers saying that they have a hard time deciding and once they decide, they are back for more wraps!

What is the easiest way to decide on a pattern?

Pick one that has your favorite color/s. Try picking a wrap that would match most of your solid color shirts. I have also found that what you think looks strange on a hanger or in this situation on a computer screen, looks great on!

Can I get more than one of a particular pattern?

There will be times that SOME patterns will be duplicated but what you see is what you can choose from.

Can I see more photo's of a particular wrap?

Yes, please email me with the specific wrap information and I will get back to you as soon I can with more photo's. We do not hold items so if during that time, your specific wrap was sold it is not lotuswrap.com's responsibility.

What is a Sari?

A sari (also spelled saree) is the traditional garment worn by many women in the Indian subcontinent. The garment is known by different names in various Indian languages; in Hindi, Punjabi, Malayalam, Gujarati and Marathi, it is known as sari; in Bengali as shari; in Kannada as seere; Telugu as 'cheera' or 'chira'; and in Tamil as podavai.

The sari is a very long strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from five to nine yards in length, which can be draped in various styles. The most common style is for the sari to be wrapped around the waist, with one end then draped over the shoulder. The sari is usually worn over a petticoat (called lehnga/ghagra in northern India and pavada/pavadai in the south), with a low-cut, short-sleeved, midriff-baring blouse known as a choli forming the upper garment. The cropped design of the choli is just as well, for the voluminous folds of the sari can be stifling in the sultry South Asian weather. Office dress codes, however, prohibit cropped, sleeveless cholis; similarly, women in the armed forces, when wearing a sari uniform, don a half-sleeve shirt tucked in at the waist. - From wikipedia.org

Some of the wraps say they have a Pallu. What is a Pallu?

The loose end of a sari that is decorative, draped diagonally in front of the torso.
