How to wear a Sari

The Simplicity of the Sari

The sari is a garment that is enjoyed by women all over India and has gained popularity in other parts of the world as well. Despite its reputation for being complicated to wear, the sari is actually a very versatile and easy-to-wear garment that can be adjusted to fit any body type. In this blog post, we will explore the simplicity of the sari and show you just how easy it is to wear this beautiful and timeless garment.

Let's start with the basics. A sari consists of a long piece of fabric that is draped around the body and fastened at the waist. The fabric is typically around five to nine yards in length, depending on the style and design of the sari. The most common way to wear a sari is to drape it over the left shoulder, leaving the right side of the body open.

Now, let's talk about the different ways to wear a sari. One option is to simply wrap the fabric around the waist and tuck it into the waistband of the garment. This method is perfect for those who are new to wearing saris and are looking for a simple and straightforward way to style the garment.

Another option is to create pleats in the fabric and tuck them into the waistband. This method is a little more advanced and allows for more flexibility in the draping of the sari. You can create a variety of different pleat styles, such as the traditional "nivi" style, which is the most common pleat style in India, or the "butterfly" style, which is a more modern and trendy option.

No matter which method you choose, the key to wearing a sari is to experiment and find what works best for your body type and personal style. The beauty of the sari is that it can be worn in so many different ways, making it a perfect fit for everyone. So why not give it a try and see just how simple and stylish it can be?"

Step 01:

To begin wearing a saree, it is important to have the proper undergarments. This includes a waist-to-floor length petticoat that is tied tightly at the waist with a drawstring, and a tight fitting blouse that ends just below the bust and has a variety of neckline options. The blouse can have short sleeves, long sleeves, or be sleeveless.

Step 02:

Start by slipping on a waist-to-floor length petticoat and a tight fitting blouse. Then, take the plain end of the saree and tuck it into the petticoat at your navel, making sure that the lower end of the saree touches the floor. Make one complete turn from right to left for this step.

Step 03&04:

In Step 3, Beginning from the tucked-in end start making pleats in the saree, about 5 inches deep. Make about 7 to 10 pleats and hold them up together so that they fall straight and even. you will tuck the pleats into the waistband of your petticoat. 

In Step 4, you will drape the remaining part of the saree over your left shoulder, letting it fall over your arm. The saree should now be draped over your left shoulder and the pleats should be neatly tucked into your waistband.    

Step 05:

Tuck the pleats into the waist slightly to the left of the navel, and make sure that they are turned towards the left.

Step 06:

Drape the remaining fabric around yourself once more left to right, and bring it up under the right arm and over the left shoulder so that it falls to about the level of the knees.

Step 07:

The end portion thus draped is the pallav, and can be prevented from slipping off by fixing it at the shoulder to the blouse with a small safety pin. You can also add a decorative saree pin or brooch to secure the folds in place.


Finally, make any necessary adjustments to the blouse and petticoat to ensure that everything is fitting comfortably and looking good.
