How To Wear A Saree In Different Ways To Look Slim And Tall

But how to wear a saree is what concerns most people. If you are new to wearing a saree, or a veteran looking for unique styles, a novice, or just recently married, we are here to address all your concerns relating to saree draping. So go on and check out the tutorials listed below. It is time for you to flaunt your desi look!


The Absolute Must-Haves To Drape A Saree Perfectly


Here is a step-by-step tutorial.

Step – 1


Start from the plain (non-pallu) end, and tuck in the fag end just near the belly button. Continue to swaddle from the left side, and complete the round from behind till you reach the point where you first started.

Step – 2



Yank the saree to the front and begin the pleats roughly about the size of the finger stretch from forefinger to the thumb.

Step – 3



Make anywhere between 5-8 pleats, depending on the material. Stow the pleats into the skirt and secure with a safety pin towards the left side of the waist. This trick will help the saree stay intact when you move about.

Step – 4



This leaves you with the pallu. You now have a choice of either letting it flow (short or long floating) or pleat it together.

Step – 5



For a floating look, all you need to do is bring the pallu towards the left side of your shoulder, from under the right arm, and pin it on the left shoulder. Hold it either at the forearm or leave it until the end. It’s a matter of choice, really.

Step – 6



For the pleated look, bring the pallu from under the right arm and make vertical pleats (about 5-6 inches) with the border (if any) being the first pleat. Continue along the breadth of the saree.

Step – 7



Now, pin it near the left side shoulder, but ensure there is at least one meter left.

This style is the basis for most of the other styles, so master this, and you’re well on your way to being a pro in saree draping. Watch the demonstration video below, maybe a couple of times, and you’re sorted.
