Hindu women wear a lot of types of clothes and ornaments. What are you referring to. You might want to elaborate by describing what they wear. You might want to keep in mind that different cultures in India have different dressing style.

Sari is a traditionally worn garment by Indian women. It is known that Hindu Goddess' (viz. Durga Devi, Lakshmi Devi,etc.) used to wear only sarees. So, women have been wearing sarees since that era. However, nowadays it is usually worn by elderly or rural women. Young women in urban areas, especially, don't prefer wearing sarees. The worst-case scenario would be that sari will no longer be worn by any lady.

Hindu women also wear a veil, a practice that highlights the fact that veiling is not exclusively Muslim. Traditional and orthodox Hindu women will cover their heads and at least partly obscure their faces in the company of unrelated adult males. Sometimes veiling is accomplished with a loose end of the woman's sari, and sometimes it is done with a scarf-like fabric known as the dupatta.
