Beth continues her great work in re-creating ancient drapes:

"The aim of this drape is to recreate a picture I'd seen
from the Lepakshi temple in Andhra Pradesh, painted during the
Vijayanagar Era (1346-1565). I've found very few pictures of
this era, and I've only seen this sari on women. I took a 9-yard
sari, and my experience draping fishtail saris to attempt this
look. After quite a number of faulty test-runs I came up with
this process, which has worked for a reasonably active day."
