(Wearing it isn't an option. I am a rather football-player-built kind of person who does not translate well to girly clothes.)

I am told this is a sari It's 4'x8' and the camera flash makes the detail a little yellow in some pics but it's really glass beads and silver metal coil-tubes on silver thread. It feels like poly/silk blend, is quite heavy, and cost me $30Cdn. The cornerpiece photo here is right on for colour. I want to do something with this that involves Not Ruining It. Help?
