Sari is a women's clothing in India. It has been worn for a long time and is a traditional Indian dress. Today, there are several types of saree and many different styles of it. The main body of the saree is about 6 meters long, but don't let that scare you! The saree is very easy to put on and it looks very good on everyone. Here are a few steps you need to take to get your saree on properly.

Steps

  1. 1 Decide on your shoes. The height of your heel is important here so that you can determine the length of the saree. Since some sarees are transparent, an additional skirt is worn under them. Shoes should be elegant, like gold-colored sandals.
  2. 2 Hold the saree with the fabric in front of you. This is a long piece of cotton with no embellishments.
  3. 3 Wrap saree around your waist and secure it.Pallu (the decorated side) should be outside.
  4. 4 Wrap it again, but don't secure it now. Pull out pallu the length of your outstretched arm. Throw it over your shoulder.
  5. 5 Stretch the fabric and move it 8-10 cm to the left of your navel.
  6. 6 Make folds. Extend your left hand and hold the fabric between your thumb and forefinger. Fold the fabric with your right hand, passing it through your thumb and forefinger. You will get 5-6 folds, but if you have small handles, there may be more folds.
  7. 7 Secure your folds. It is a good idea to secure the folds together to keep them from falling apart throughout the day. In general, they can be fastened about 20 cm below the waist.
  8. 8 Wrap the remaining fabric around you from left to right and over the shoulder.
  9. 9 Secure the fabric at the shoulder with a pin.
    • Find saree blouses of different styles, sexy blouses can be found online.

Tips

  • Keep the saree long so that only your fingertips are visible. A short saree, when the knees are visible, does not look very elegant. Think of a saree as an outfit for a special evening.
  • You can pin the saree to the petticoat just under the right armpit (side opposite to the side with pallu), and even better a little behind. This will keep the saree from falling off your left chest.
  • Wear bracelets with your saree to distract attention from your bare hands.
  • A saree will look better if it matches your shoes.
  • Add more accessories for simple sarees, and less for heavier and more embellished sarees.
  • Someone fixes the folds right in the center of the front, and someone on the left side. Both options are correct.
  • You can fool everyone a little by making the folds. You can simply fold the first fold, and then start drawing them.
  • Wear elegant shoes. No sneakers please!
  • Put the top down. The strip of fabric on the bare shoulder looks very good.
  • You can secure the pleats of the petticoat with pins.

Warnings

  • Make sure you attach the saree well to the blouse because you cannot let it fall.
  • The petticoat should not be visible for anything when you are standing.
  • Make sure you have deep enough creases. Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable for you to walk.
  • Make sure the folds are clean! Uneven folds look odd.
  • When you carry pallu over your shoulder, make sure the end is over your knee, otherwise you may trip.
  • Stretch cotton or sari fabric is the lot of professionals, otherwise it is very easy to ruin it. Because this material is very difficult to drape.
  • Make sure the fabric falls on the inside near your feet.
  • Make sure the petticoat fits snugly! Better to let it be very tight than very loose. Otherwise, the sari will begin to dangle and the folds will fall apart.
