When a young girl eyes her mothers suitcase full of gorgeous silk, cotton and embroidered saris, she decides that she, too, should wear one, even though she is too young for such clothing. When the mother finally realizes how important it is for her little girl to feel like a big girl on her seventh birthday, she dresses up her daughter in the folds of a blue sari. Feeling grownup and very pretty, the daughter is thrilled to look just like her mother, even if only for a day. Mamas Saris captures an elegant snapshot of every girls wish to play dress up.
