Wear a saree and give people a reason to turn their heads.

Draping a saree is an age-old tradition in Indian culture, and it is an art form that has been perfected over generations.

Step 1: Choose the Perfect Saree and Accessories The first step in draping a saree is to select a saree that suits your personal style and the occasion. Consider the fabric, color, and design that best complement your body type and skin tone. Additionally, choose matching or contrasting accessories like a blouse, petticoat, jewelry, and footwear to enhance your overall look.

Step 2: Wear the Petticoat and Blouse Put on a well-fitted petticoat, which is a long skirt-like garment worn under the saree.

Step 3: Tuck the Saree into the Petticoat Start by tucking the plain end of the saree into the petticoat at the right side of your waist. Make sure the saree is slightly tilted to the left, allowing the decorative border to be visible.

Step 4: Make Pleats Hold the loose end of the saree and start making pleats, around 5 to 7 inches wide, with even folds. Make sure the pleats are neat and facing towards the left.

Step 5: Arrange the Pallu Now, take the remaining saree and bring it over your left shoulder, allowing it to fall gracefully behind you. Adjust the length of the pallu (the loose end) based on your preference.

Step 6: Finishing Touches Smooth out any wrinkles or creases on the saree to ensure a polished look. Adjust the pleats and pallu to create a balanced and symmetrical drape. Use safety pins discreetly to secure the pleats and pallu in place. Take a moment to admire your reflection and make any final adjustments to achieve the desired effect.
