Wedding season is here and if you're a South Asian woman, you probably will be attending a handful.

The saree or sari is a traditional South Asian outfit that consists of a long one-size-fits-all wrap, a fitted blouse and a petticoat. While they're deemed everything from exotic to sexy (yes, they are definitely sexy), there's an art to mastering the saree, something us South Asian gals know too well.

Here are 18 truths about wearing a saree to a wedding, mandir (temple), your mother-in-law's house and wherever else you have to go:

Bras, tube tops, you name it

And uncomfortable to walk in like this non-saree

You also form sexy red and sometimes swollen skin around your waist once you take it off.

Sorry Desi girl

Fabulous!
