"SMART SKIRTS' are sold all over the world and the prices vary as does the quality. One should be aware of the quality of the fabric when shopping. 'SMART SKIRTS" are supposed to be made from vintage sari fabrics. Why 'vintage'? Well a good sari can run anywhere from $200 and up, but 'vintage' sari's can be had for a substantially less expensive price. Another reason a 'SMART SKIRT' should be made from a sari is because it will then be unique and no one else will have it. If you buy your "SMART SKIRT" online make sure a close up shot of the fabric can be viewed and if you see they are offering many of the same fabric ,rest assured it is not sari fabric but mass produced and most likely not silk fabric.
For the most beautiful fabrics which will truly give you a beautiful piece of clothing make sure it is from a silk sari. How can you know if it is silk or from a sari? Silk comes in many different textures as do the 'SMART SKIRTS'. Some are very lightweight and transparent while others are heavier or stiff. A sari often times has changing patterns and colors in it while mass produced fabrics will not. A sari often times has gold trim work called 'zari' on it, while mass produced fabric will not. If you examine the fabric itself the front and back will be the same and you will see the woven threads. At the end of the day , if it is strikingly beautiful in color and catches your eye, and feels good to your touch ,chances are it is a genuine silk sari and not mass produced fabric.
You should first think about the ways you would be planning to drape it around your body before you choose the texture as any 'SMART SKIRT' technically can be worn so many different ways , not all textures look as good worn in particular styles.
After you have contemplated and argued with yourself for probably a good hour, buy the 'SMART SKIRT" take it home and start experimenting with the many ways it can be worn , but yet the styles that look good on you!
