K. Ram, I agree that the "convenience factor" is a major bugaboo for my wife too.Â
Interestingly, there are pre-packaged saris available in India (unfortunately only for little kids) which do away with the inconvenience. Now, if only some enterprising desi comes up with an adult version, they may have a hit on their hands.
There are also pre-packaged dhotis available for little ones (which I got for my sons). <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Convenience is a function of practice. I am a big fan of panchei. I were it whereever I go in Los Angles, excpet off course work. Panchie (or lungi) is the most comfortable for me. However, many who are not used to it think it is very uncomforatble.
I dont find the suit comfortable.. In fact I hate it.. I feel like I am tied up. I was so relieved when I was done with my medical residency training.. becuase I did not have to wear the faaasi (tie) every day to work..
The way to go.... is to start with these dresses from childhood... then it becomes a habit...
