3 tips for draping an organza saree!

1: Start the drape in the middle of your body for more pleats AND so that both sides of your drape are equal layers. This is especially important if your saree is sheer.

2: Take extra wide pleats when draping an organza saree as narrow pleats will open up/won’t hold.

3: Micro pleat your pallu for a more structured look.

For a full coverage drape, wear a longer blouse and tuck it into your underskirt. If you'd like to cover more, opt for a high neck blouse with long sleeves. Once you tuck in your front pleats, pull the back of your saree up as high as you'd like for more coverage.

Take wider pleats when draping with an organza saree as narrow pleats will open up/won’t hold. Ironing down narrow pleats is one way to make them stay put but you may not want that look with an organza saree.

Saree School Lesson 22 - Walking up or down stairs in a Saree

Wearing a saree is a beautiful experience, but navigating stairs can be a bit tricky. Here’s a simple guide to help you glide down the stairs with grace and confidence.

1. Hold Your Pallu: Gently gather your pallu in your hand, keeping it close to your body. This not only looks elegant but also ensures you don’t step on it.

2. Lift the Hem: Grab your front pleats and slightly lift the hem of your saree with your other hand. This gives you a clear view of the steps and prevents tripping.

3. Take Small Steps: Walk down the stairs slowly, taking small, careful steps. This helps you maintain balance and control.
