Podavai at best drowns a woman in fabric and at worst, most especially silk saris, makes her look like a candy in a shiny crinkly wrapper. I'm not sure how it counts as ideal: wrapped garments require adjustment, they are less stable, constricting the legs decreases mobility (which is why women hike their saris and men madichufy veshtis). No pottu and no jewellery focuses attention on the woman's own face, far more appealing, not to mention what it implies about the woman's personality.

I don't care for salwar-kameez either -- kameez is waistless and ends in an odd place, it makes almost every woman look dumpier than she would be in a better cut silhouette.

Sleek, practical, modest, stylish.
