Answer 2

You do know that a sari is just a piece of long fabric.

It has two dimensions: Its length, which may vary from two to nine yards, and its height, which varies from two to four feet.

If you are worried about draping one properly, you are better off to have someone show you how to do it and then pin the proper areas, or order a ready-made one (from an Indian store or online).

Step 1

Start with the Inner Edge(least patterned plain end) of the Saree, with the Fall (lined border) falling along the inside of the bottom edge. Tuck the Inner Edge into the waistband of the Petticoat slightly to the right side, with the rest of the saree wrapping round to the left. The amount you tuck in depends on how tall or short you are or how long you want to wear the saree.

Step 2

Measure the length of the Pallu (the fanciest patterned end of the saree that falls on the outside so that the design can be seen). This will be on the other end of the Saree from the end you have just tucked in. Take this measured Pallu Length (approx. 1 metre) and take it behind you from your left and forward again from your right.

Step 3

Take the Pallu that you have just brought forward from your right, and fling it over your left shoulder for the time being, so it is out of the way. This is done to see how much of the Saree should be pleated into the waistband. The Saree now left in front of you is pleated to tuck into the waistband.

Step 4

Pleat the remaining Saree into five to six inch wide pleats.

Step 5

Hold all the pleats together, making sure the bottom end is level with the rest of the Saree all round.

Step 6

Tuck this bundle of pleats in one movement into the waistband of the petticoat, thus securing it.

Step 7

The Pallu of the Saree can now be arranged to suit your own style. The style normally and most commonly used is flinging the Pallu over the left shoulder or pleating it and pinning it to the left shoulder, so that the Pallu can swing open at the back.
