The invention describes a dhoti with additional fastening means to lock the entire apparel and arrest it to the body of the wearer. The invention comprises of two strips of thin plastic sheet, one covered with tiny loops and other with flexible hook. The fastening means adhere when pressed together and deliberates when pulled apart. Even though the invention describes a secured fastening system for dhotis, it did not propose any solution for the border mismatching issue.
