Step #1:
Before starting make sure that you iron your saree so that it'll make pleating and draping easier. First start off by pleating your pallu.
Step #2:
Pin the pleats together and then fan them out to iron them.
Step #3:
Establish the base of your saree and tuck it in to your silhouette flat against your body.
Step #4:
Bring the pallu you made earlier around your body and drape it around your right shoulder. After this start pleating!
Step #5:
For the authentic Gujurati drape your pleats would usually face the left, however having your pleats face to the right hugs your curves well! Once you've picked a side pin and tuck your pleats in and tuck in any excess fabric on the outside.
Step #6:
You have the option of dragging the left most pleat to your side and pinning it or you can just leave your pallu as is. Pair it with a waist chain and Voila! The Gujurati Drape!
