How To Wear Sari

I am fascinated by Bollywood and Indian stuff. I love watching Hindi movies because both the hero and heroine are always good looking. I like what the heroine was wearing, and observe what jewelry she was wearing. I have some collection of Indian stuff like Sari, bindi, henna tattoos, and some jewelries.

Now, talk about how to wear Sari. The success of the Sari is attributed to its total simplicity, practical comfort, and sense of luxury a woman experiences when she wears one. A sari is an outfit which reveals as much as it hides. How to wear a sari is an art which require practice. A Sari properly draped transforms a woman to become graceful, stylish, elegant and sensuous. But a clumsily draped Sari brings down the look of the Sari and spoils the whole appearance of the woman.

Step 1
1. A waist - to - floor length petticoat tied tightly at the waist by a drawstring.
2. A tight fitting blouse that ends just below the bust.

Step 2
After step one you take the saree and tuck the plain end of the sari into the petticoat for one complete turn from right to left. Make sure that the lower end of the sari touches the floor.

Step 3
Beginning from the tucked-in end start making pleats in the sari, about 5 inches deep.

Step 4
Make about 7 to 10 pleats and hold them up together so that they fall straight and even.

Step 5
Tuck the pleats into the waist slightly to the left of the navel, and make sure that they are turned towards the left.

Step 6
After step one you take the saree and tuck the plain end of the sari into the petticoat for one complete turn from right to left. Make sure that the lower end of the sari touches the floor.

Step 7
The end portion thus draped is the pallu, and can be prevented from slipping off by fixing it at the shoulder to the blouse with a small safety pin.

You are now draped in a sari . . . Now stand before the mirror and get enchanted by the grace you exude!
