saree draping

Saree draping can be a beautiful art form, but it can also seem complicated at first. There are many different draping styles that come from various regions of India, each with its own unique look.

Here’s a general breakdown of the saree draping process to get you started:

Things you’ll need:

  • Saree (of course!)
  • Petticoat (optional, but recommended for a smoother drape)
  • Safety pins
  • Blouse

Steps:

  1. Start with a petticoat or underskirt: This provides a base layer and helps the saree drape more smoothly.
  2. Pleating the saree: There are different pleating techniques, but generally you’ll make uniform pleats on the end of the saree that will be tucked into the waist.
  3. Securing the pleats: Tuck the pleated end of the saree into the petticoat at your waist and secure it with safety pins.
  4. Draping the body of the saree: Wrap the remaining saree fabric around your body once, bringing it to the back.
  5. The pallu: The pallu is the decorative end of the saree. There are different ways to drape the pallu depending on the style. It’s often draped over one shoulder.
  6. Securing the pallu: Use safety pins to secure the pallu to the blouse or petticoat.

Tips for beginners:

  • Use lightweight fabrics: Chiffon or georgette sarees are easier to drape than stiffer fabrics.
  • Practice: The more you practice, the easier it will become. You can try draping on a mannequin or with a friend’s help at first.
  • Pre-pleated sarees: Consider a pre-pleated saree to save time and frustration.
  • Video tutorials: There are many saree draping tutorials available online [YouTube].
  • Seek guidance: Don’t hesitate to ask someone experienced for help learning a particular style.

Remember, saree draping is a skill that takes time and practice. Be patient with yourself and have fun with it!
