It's a metal circle worn around the belly. Same category as foot binding and those necklaces worn in Africa that make necks longer. Also, it makes the sari look dowdy.
How does a metal belt change the shape of anything? They are adjustable to fit the waist irl, it's just a decorative piece like a bracelet or any other kind of belt.
Here's Carla and her husband Imran in their new togs. Firstly, looking bright and colourful:

I adore the detailing on the back and the outfit looks great with the arm accessory.

I just can't see the comparison. I think at this point though it is best for me to step away from the topic since I'm the last person who'd know anything about metal sari belts. Or chastity belts for that matter.
To me saris with and without the belt look lovely on ladies and lady sims, but you know, I'm just some western dude and I can't tell whether these girls are forced to wear those belts or not. By gosh I hope you're not ladies!

Know what, forget chastity belts. It looks exactly like a barrel hoop. French world and wine making must be coming. 😆

You see now you're giving me something to work with!
I used to wear a rubber keg ring-seal around my wrist and I believe those Barrel Hoops would look gorgeous on anyone really.
I think Barrel Keg Fashion could be a thing. We should get a Barrel Keg CAS Kit.
I don't feel comfortable with someone trying to give their very personal opinon on a piece of clothing that is clearly aimed to be inclusive for a certain culture (currently very underrepresented in the game) more weight by imposing an extremely weird and unfitting connotation upon it. Especially after EA have been working with actual designers for the culture they wanted to represent this time. Nothing wrong with saying you'd have liked it better without the belt, but there's a line.
There is certainly a reason for EA staff posting here to state that it's not a chastity belt while they'll normally hardly comment here - and it's not a good one.

I don't feel comfortable being told that I am not supposed to give my opinion and should accept things without questioning. It's good that EA cleared the issue, I am also sure that the likeness to a barrel hoop was completely unintentional.
The chastity belt thing...I just can't. That goes several inches lower than a female's waist 🐸🐸🐸🐸. And are surprisingly comfortable, just don't stay out in the cold too long if you can help it. Ahh, Halloween memories. And before someone gets it twisted, I was Maid Marion. If you don't get the reference, watch Robin Hood Men In Tights. Mel Brooks is a GENIUS.
Are barrel hoops going to be the next duct tape bracelets? Only time will tell. Frankly, if a 90's kit ever comes our way, and it doesn't include pants you can hide 5 people in and duct tape everything, it isn't the 90's. But a French world could be cool if it includes the coffee/vino culture and Bastille Day somehow. Got to have those two things. *nods*
Forgot: I am LOVING the new outfits - it just turned Spring in my game, and I'm actually having a hard time deciding on spring outfits for my households. Might have to use more than one slot for the first time ever lol.
I just bought both of these kits and I really like them. There is a lot of variety with the patterns and colours in the swatches. And I love the Teal and Saphire Blue colours, so lovely. Definitely recommend the kits. The pics in Origin don't do justice to how many outfits you can make with them and I think the two kits together go really well together with the City Living clothing.
The combinations looks nice Out of curiosity is that sweater with the koi fishes from City Living? If so I will need to track it down in cas so I can use it for some of my sims.
@Ember_Fox Yes, it's from the City Living pack. I really like this sweater too. The blue one is nice too. The first swatch on this sweater is a black and gold motif.

Please promise we'll be getting functional phone booths with that!

My point exactly.

Seriously, there's only so many clothes a Sim can wear at a time.

Little Jasleen's amazed. She's never seen her Dad wear such fancy clothes.
