Tag: how to wear a saree

There are many beautiful ways to drape a saree, and the perfect method for you might depend on the style of the saree and your own personal preference. But to get you started, here’s a basic breakdown of the steps involved in wearing a saree:

1. Get your essentials together: You’ll need the saree itself, a petticoat (an underskirt that provides volume and helps hold the saree in place), a blouse (often a choli), and safety pins.

2. Start with the petticoat: Secure the petticoat around your waist like a skirt.

3. Drape the saree: There are different draping styles, but a common method is to make pleats in the saree fabric and tuck them into the petticoat at your waist. You’ll then bring the other end of the saree over your shoulder.

4. Secure the pleats: Use safety pins to secure the pleats to the petticoat for a snug fit.

5. Style the pallu: The pallu is the decorative end of the saree that goes over your shoulder. You can drape it elegantly in various ways over your shoulder or arm.
