Since you are in Seattle, your best bet may be to take a little trip to
Vancouver, BC. There is a wonderful 'little india' section. You should be
able to get sari's w/ matching choli's there. The chaniyo's...well pick up
a few multipurpose colors and you will be set.

Ebay is actually a wonderful place to find Sari's also. But each item,
sari; choli; chaniyo; will have to be purchased seperately. That usually
means that you are not going to get a choli to match a particular sari.
Some sari's have the choli piece still attached...but most don't.
