Lovely! Thank you so much!

I love the colors!

When will a mesh be done that actually replicates a real sari? With pleats on the front, gathered on the back so that the paloo comes from them?
These creations are really gorgeous, but they look like saris only if looked from certain angles. The fabric is not continuous.
I know it must be very difficult to do what you did, and I admire your skill and patience (not to mention good taste in colour and texture) but I have a feeling that it's not because of difficulty that you didn't get it, but because you have only seen front pictures of a sari, and you are not sure how it works.
Let me try to help
A sari is a continuous length of cloth, wrapped. So the part coming to cover the breasts and going down the shoulder to hang on the back doesn't come out of nowhere, it's the same fabric as the "skirt", a continuation of it.
After the fisarmonica pleats in the middle of the front, the fabric continues to the left, goes around your back, comes again to the front (from right to left, usually), is pleated to cover the breasts and then, pleated as it is, goes over the left shoulder, and its end is left trailing to show off the usually more decorated end design.

Please have a look at the following links, they might help.

and here, where she has taken the back piece and brought it to the front (this is a common variation in South India):

On the following page (full of really gorgeous saris and lehenga cholis, that is skirt + top sets), look at the first two pictures, where she has completed the front pleats but hasn't yet draped the material around her.

In the following, you will see how draping makes some loose pleats on the behind in order to come up. (Don't be confused by the fact that it's done on the right side. In different parts of India, such as the Bengal, they do it like this, on the right).

Finally, here is a black and white pen illustration of how a sari is wrapped. It might shed light on the whole process.

This is just beautiful. I already clicked the thanks button but I had to tell you, I love these. I'm going to see what else you have, too.

Love these saris. They're so beautiful. Lovely colors. Thank you!

I recently downloaded sims 2 again and I'd really like to use this sari for my indian sim but they appear much much lighter in my game and the skin as well in the game, like the lightning and saturation on the pictures don't match the default skin tone and lightning in the game. The head and neck of my sim gets a completely different shade than the arms and both the skin and the colors of the sari appear way to bright. It looks like the creator is using some sort of custom skin and lightning in the pictures, that is actually part of the texture itself. I've had the same problem with clothing from the same creator, is no one else having the same problem?
It's really annoying, I don't want to have to download a bright custom skin just to match these clothes (that would make all the other clothing look wonky instead). Thing is Im pretty sure I've downloaded this very dress when i played sims 2 before, and had no problem then. Help would be much appreciated, since it's not just this item of clothing i'm having trouble with!
