Pleat the Pallu
Step #1:
Ensure the entire sari is well-ironed for ease of preparation. Decide the width of the pleat and take the first layer based on that width.
Step #2:
Pleat the pallu, adjusting for any puffiness by pressing it down or pinning as needed.
Step #3:
Repeat this process until you reach the other end of the saree. Ensure that the good side of the sari is on both sides of the pallu.
Step #4:
Iron the pleated pallu once you are satisfied with the pleats. Use safety pins to secure and aid in the ironing process.
Front Pleats
Step #5:
If doing it for yourself, wrap it around yourself, ensuring the pleats are taken at the right spot.

Start pleating until you get your desired amount of pleats. Gather and stagger the pleats slightly, then pin them together.

Lay the gathered pleats over the ironing board with the outside facing down.
Step #8:
Fan out the front pleats for a beautiful shape. Iron only the inside folds lightly, leaving the outside folds organic and puffy.
Chest Pleats

Lay the pallu down on the ironing board, pinning at the top
Step #10:
Fan out the pleats carefully, ensuring the good side of the sari is on both sides of the pallu
