Common Saree-Draping Mistakes to Watch Out For in 2025

Getting the saree drape just right can make all the difference, but a few common mistakes can throw off the entire look. One big issue is not securing the pleats properly. If they’re uneven or too bulky, they can shift around and feel uncomfortable. Another mistake is tucking the saree too low or too high, which can mess with the proportions and make it look off.

The placement of the pallu is another detail that’s easy to overlook. If it’s too short, it looks incomplete, and if it’s too long, it can be hard to manage. Measuring your pallu to the back of the knee ensures the perfect length every time. Pleating tends to be the biggest challenge for saree draping beginners, however, practicing techniques like the one featured in this video can make it so much easier.

Pay attention to these small details, and you’ll feel confident and comfortable every time you wear a saree. You can check out our Youtube channel for full draping tutorials like this one!
