This is a ready saree. It has an elastic system at the waist and a drawstring to fix it. It is 40 inches long from the waist down. The anchal can be set and worn as desired. I made a video but the video cannot be attached with this. Those of you who are interested can send a message. I will send you the detailed video. I bought this saree from an online page. But I haven't worn the saree even for a single day. Completely intact saree.
