Saree Wearing Guide

Before you Start
Two essential parts of attire, that go along with the Saree, need to be chosen carefully to compliment the Saree.
These are:
A petticoat

which is a waist-to-floor garment, tied tightly at the waist by a drawstring. The petticoat color should match the base sari color as closely as possible. No part of the petticoat, of course, is visible outside the Saree, after having worn it.

A blouse

which needs to be tight-fitting and whose color needs to be chosen keeping the look of the saree in mind, can be short sleeved or sleeveless, with a variety of necklines. The blouse ends just below the bust.

Wearing a Sari the Traditional Way

* Step 1. Around your body. Starting at the navel, tuck the plain end of the saree into the petticoat and continue tucking till you take a complete turn from right to left. Adjust the lower end of the saree to the height required. Ideally wear your footwear so that you drape the saree to the right length.

* Step 2. Measuring the pallu. Hold the top edge of the saree where the pallu is and bring it around your hips to the front and over your left shoulder, thus measuring the length of the pallav or pallu. The pallav should hang down the back to the knee. You may pin your pallu to your sari blouse provisionally.

* Step 3. Making pleats. Create pleats with the saree. Make about 7 to 10 pleats and hold them up together so that they fall straight and even. Tuck the pleats into the waist petticoat slightly to the left of the navel, taking care to see that the pleats are turned towards the left.

* Step 4. The pallu. The remaining portion of the saree must be turned once around the body and then draped over the left shoulder. Arrange the pleats on this part of the saree and then pin them up on the left shoulder to prevent the pallu from falling off.

This is the most common method to wear a saree. With matching bindi and jewellery you feel like a complete Indian woman.

Different Ways of Wearing a Sari

Different regions of India have their own distinct forms of draping a Saree. Some of these are outlined below:
Creative use of a floral pin really <br/>makes this easy to create look stand out. The simple Bridal Saree draped in<br/> Gujarati Style Another style of wrapping a saree<br/> is the double drape. Here an extra<br/> wrap is taken and the pleats are not<br/> tied together rather they a bit<br/> apart (tucked in at a distance). It's simple to drape, easy to carry<br/> and great to look.
The Bengali style. It is a variation of the Gujarati style,<br/> where the pallu falls in front. A unique way of tucking pleats and <br/>pallu. A little variation in draping <br/>style can create wonders and the end<br/> result is exactly like this. This is simple Gujarati style but the<br/> way she is carrying it makes a lot of<br/> difference.
The side pleats are really giving this look<br/> a unique and trendy feel. Traditionally the Pallu in the Gujarati<br/> style is tied on the right shoulder<br/> but here in this image it is tied<br/> on the left shoulder. The simple Double Drape style. This style doesn't go well with the<br/> blouse. However, this style will go well<br/> with a spaghetti strap or strapless saree<br/> blouse. It might even work quite well with <br/>short sleeves, as long as the neck is cut<br/> wide and square.
This is the most common style of<br/> draping a saree. The Pallu can be left<br/> open or can be tied up at the<br/> shoulder I love this look. It's sleek, it's simple<br/> and very, very sexy! I simply liked this look. <br/> Here the model is wrapped from head<br/> to toe but still looking very <br/> attractive & sensuous. Another style and a variation <br/>of Gujarati style where the pallu is <br/>tied tightly around the waist.
