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.
