I got a dress to wear to a friends Indian wedding years ago. I dont think it is a sari bc it doesn’t have the draped piece (I got it at an estate sale and it is possible the draped part was missing bc it looks like a dress that would have the draped piece on top). I don’t think I will have another Indian wedding to wear it to. I am assuming it would be inappropriate for me (white girl) to wear it to a non-Indian event, but would like confirmation before I give away this beautiful dress!

Maybe not technically inappropriate but kinda weird.

Indian here and I looked it up on the site. It’s an anarkhali - a longer top with wide pants (could also be a skirt). It should come with a shawl (dupatta) that you would drape in some fashion. As for wearing it again, you might want to look into having it restyled/altered by a tailor to turn it into something different, like a knee length skirt and/or jacket or tank blouse. It’s what I often do.

That is a good idea, thank you!

Well this is gorgeous! I don’t think you should get rid of it. I’m Asian (though not South Asian) and I’d want to wear it again too. I think if you wore it elsewhere, it’s cultural appreciation. It doesn’t look like a traditional sari to me, but maybe someone from that culture could speak to that. I don’t think you should have to change it, but you could get it altered/shortened if that would make you feel more comfortable.
