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.
