You just ignore her. Being an old lady always respect her in decent manner and wear as you like. Absolutely thare is nothing wrong in wearing saree below navel low on hips. It is comfortable, good for health and gives a lady elegance.

EbonyBlossom agony auntShe's only your next door neighbour. You shouldn't care what she says. Your husband probably likes it, isn't that more important? Live how you want to =]

Would it be tasteless for me to tell you to tell this woman to go f*** herself? Seriously, whats left to say?

Do you feel good wearing them? Does your husband like you wearing them? That's all that matters. This neighbor was WAY out of line to say that to you, and you should NEVER change yourself for anyone else.. let alone some snotty neighbor.

p.s. I think sarees are beautiful, and I would love to have your confidence to wear a sexy saree. Keep being yourself!

SirenaBlusera agony auntIt's not her business. I feel sorry for her because she's older and didn't get the priviledge of living in times when people have more freedom. But you're free to wear what you want; she should respect that. You're an adult and she's not your mom.

Miamine agony auntmmmm... I am not Hindu, but many Hindu girls in England wear sari's that are sexy and look very pretty. Times have changed, we modern people like to look beautiful. Things are changing in India, in Britain and all over the world. Your sari is suitable as far as I'm concerned. If your husband doesn't mind, and finds nothing wrong with the way you dress, then you are respectable. If you wasn't he would say something. This woman is old, she lives by the old rules. I think she's a bit jealous of the freedoms modern woman have. Tell her your sorry, but your husband likes you to dress this way.

Entirely Unique agony auntIf you're happy with the way you're dressing and so is your husband then I don't see why you have to or want to change that, how you dress isn't really anything to do with your neighbour unless you was running around the garden naked which you're not.
