How to wear a saree?

Step 1 - Wrap the saree around the waist
Start tucking saree on the right side of your waist, and wrap it around your body until it comes back to the right side of your body. Gently tuck the saree along the way in the entire edge to give saree a secure fit.
The bottom border of the saree should touch the top of your feet, and should look parallel to the floor.



Step 2 - Pleat the saree

Pleat the saree by folding saree back and forth from the continued edge of the cloth. The multiple time folding of the back and forth is called as box pleating the sari. After finishing the pleating, the fabric should lay evenly & perpendicular to your body.



Step 3 - Drape the saree to the Upper body

Pick the saree up from the end that is not coming directly from the tucked portion to fold the remaining saree to make pleats. Start layering the saree back and forth using thumb and fingers to hold the saree in place to make the even folds. The ends of the folds should finish on opposite sides of the pleat.





Step 4 - Position Pallu over the left shoulder

The folded section should throw over the left shoulder and the end of the saree is called "Pallu". Position the Pallu over left shoulder by pulling up from the front to completely drape the Pallu over the shoulder. The bottom of the Pallu behind shoulder should fall somewhere in between mid calf and lower calf length. Make adjustments to improve the visibility of decorated border.
