This is the most common and popular style of sari drapping in India. To wear this style of sari first you have to wear a waist to floor length petticoat and a waist length tight fitting blouse ending just blow the bust as shown in the picture 1.
To start with, first tuck one end of the sari in the petticoat and make one complete round from right to left. The sari must touch the floor.pic -2
Now take the tucked end of the sari and make some pleats. Make sure that the pleats are at least 5 inches deep. Around 7-10 pleats, hold them together and tuck in. pic-3
Tuck hem a bit left of your navel, and they must be turned towards the left. Pic -4
Now tuck the plain end of your sari in petticoat for 1 complete round from right to left. Pic- 5
Now take the decorative end of the sari drape it from front to back on your right shoulder. Pic- 6
The end portion thus draped is the pallu, and can be prevented from slipping of by fixing it at the shoulder to the blouse with a small safety pin or can use designed brooches. You are now dressed up in the most decent outfit of India “The gracious Saree”
