Know about 4 different types of drapes in a saree!

 

Sarees! Most elegant attire an Indian woman can adorn. But if you follow the saree fashion, you must have seen that different culture, in fact different individuals wear their saree drapes differently.

Here, we will be listing 4 modern style draping for saris that are not as common in the cultural scenario but has been making a round lately:

Pant Style Drape

This trendy drape is making a noise for quite sometimes now. This drape is extremely easy to wear and looks super stylish without having to try hard. Pants style draping does come in two forms- One where you wear it over a pant or a legging, giving it a pant effect. Other is a dhoti style, where it is more relaxed and can be worn with a normal underskirt.

Belted Drape

No matter how you drape your saree- normal pleats, front pleats, dhoti, pants or however. The trick is to wear a belt that is either taken from the same fabric as the saree or even do it with a contrasting fabric and colour. The idea is to give definition to your beautiful curves. This is a modern take to the old and famous ‘Kamar Bandh’. The style suits every body type. If you have the confidence and do not mind showing off your midriff, you can put the belt on a pleated pallu and if you are only looking for definition, belt it up with an open pallu style.

Saree as a Lehenga

This drape can sound even look a little complicated. The trick it to give the volume while pleating by doing it wide and all across the underskirt. This will give it an effect of a fuller skirt. If you master this technique by regularly practicing it (let us all admit, in this pandemic, we crave dressing up, so we can take out time to practice the drapes). Imagine having to buy latest saree only and getting lehenga free.

Scarf drape

Take your regular flowy saris with the pallu being a little longer and drape it around your neck. This stylish number is for days when you feel like experimenting and there is retro in your mind.

Sarees are not boring, amp with it up and get different outfit each time!

 

Bit about sarees

 

A saree or sari is a beautiful Indian garment. This is a traditional Indian garment worn in different parts of the country. It is an unstitched drape that may vary from 5 to 9 meters long and can be from 700 millimeters to 1200 millimeters in width. Saris are usually worn as an essential outfit traditionally and are still the best choice for any occasion and events.

Sarees are also listed as a formal wear and obviously can be carried around as a casual as well as party wear. The way traditional saris are worn is by tying it around the petticoat, which is usually an A-line skirt and strings to tighten or loosen it from the waist. The end strip of the saree is known as a Pallu and is usually more than a meter long. Pallu are the most intricate part of the saree since it is one part which is not wrapped and designs can easily be visible. 

Origin of a Saree

‘Saree’ or ‘Sari’ has been taken from the word ‘Sati’. Sati means a strip of cloth. People in India were well versed with sewing and weaving but still preferred clothing that could be draped around the body, like- Saree and Dhoti. The reason for it was the hot climate of the country.

Indian people preferred unstitched clothing during Indus civilization. They would take a cloth and wrap around the waist and remaining fabric would be used to drape other parts in a comfortable manner.
