How to wear a saree

A bride's trousseau, The ethnic Indian sari is not any exotic or fancied wear item. Much rather it is a clothing habit that comes naturally to every Indian female as she wears it normally on a daily basis almost all over India. The sari compliments the structure and physique of every female whether thin or fat and can be worn by all. Though the Sarees are worn in different styles by different castes in the various regions of India but then there is one common way of wearing a sari that every one follows and also keep in mind the parts of the sari  are also the essential undergarments that need to be worn along with the saree. 

(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. (The blouse comes in fashions like the sleeve-less, sleeved with varieties of necklines and back patterns)

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
