I was asked by a curly haired tot 'whats inside?' and it took a minute to sort out that she wanted to know.
'Does it keep going round?' she enquired in exasperation at my slowness.
I eventually twigged that, having noticed that my kilt wrapped over, she wanted to know how much fabric was underneath, so I showed her the inner corner of the under apron and the apron pleats, which she solomnly inspected, and nodded at.
I did wonder why she was so interested, until her mum came over wearing a sari.
Now we might draw in breath at the cost of a hand made in Scotland kilt, but a good sari costs about the same, and a really good one is about the same price as a second hand car. The very best full outfit with sari, under skirt, blouse and jewelry would require a second mortgage.
The length of fabric is about the same, but the full width of the material is used for a sari so there is twice the amount of material, and if it is good silk with a patterned border and lots of work on the end which shows, it costs a lot.
The tot had no interest in 'the question' - she had simply wanted to know about what I was wearing and how it was put on.
