Cute Young Red Haired Girl With Green Eyes Undresses Her Black Petticoat On The Blue Sofa Chair At Home

English typically referred to the Indian lehenga as a petticoat; it is the main undergarment worn with a sari. Sari petticoats usually match the color of the sari and are made of satin or cotton. A notable difference between the western petticoat and sari petticoat is that the sari petticoat is rarely shorter than ankle length.
