3 Tips To Ace Your Next Individual Saree Photoshoot – Lalitha

Posted on October 1, 2022November 19, 2022 by Sareeing Official

Showcase the saree:

Many a times you want to take a photo of yourself to put emphasis on a new saree purchase, or the type of weave of the saree, or the grandeur of the drape. Much of the grandeur or intricate work of the saree lies in the pallu. So display the pallu in such a way that the focus is on it for the picture. Dont pleat your pallu and pin it at your shoulder for those sarees with grand pallu. The beauty of the saree is hidden if you do so for the sake of convenience. Photographing with the pallu falling over your left arm is so 5-years-ago and overdone. Showcase your pallu creatively, as shown in the examples here:

If you don’t feel comfortable being in the picture, then you can showcase your saree by spreading it out on a chair as such :

Showcase your blouse:

Many a times, a blouse is what makes or breaks a saree. An ill-fitting blouse or one that does not contrast or match well can bring down the look of a saree, no matter how intricate or expensive the saree may be. So give a well stitched or well designed blouse the limelight it deserves. Here are a few ways to highlight your blouse :

Showcase your Jewelry :

I am a firm believer that no saree ensemble is complete without earrings, bangles and necklace. Sometimes in that 6 yards of cloth, the jewelry gets hidden, or goes unnoticed. Make sure you photograph your jewelry separately. Here are a few photo ideas to showcase your bling :

Hope the above tips help you ace your next saree photoshoot.

Happy Sareeing…!!!

How to avoid heavy net saree from looking puffy

Posted on September 27, 2022November 19, 2022 by Sareeing Official

Avoid multiple pleats.
Try to make each pleat wider.
Minimize the number of pleats (instead of 7–8 pleats you can try to minimize it to 3-4 pleats?).
Start tucking it all the way from the ‘right’ side of your waist and bring it in the front, approximately 2 inches to the left of your navel.
When you tuck it try to keep them aligned.
You can pin your pleats at both ends so they all stay in line before you start tucking them.

** Make the pleats, tie the entire saree. Ask someone to press down the pleats together for you so that they form a creased straight compressed pleat.
** If you are going to be busy on the day you are planning to wear it.. then avoid too much running around.
** Put a heavy material cloth fall on the net sarees in order to keep them falling down due to the cloth weight and net is not puffed anymore.

Hopefully this helps & you’ll look very pretty in your beautiful netted saree.

For starting an online saree business, you first have to research the saree business.

Prices of saree, wholesale market, competition of sarees online, fabric, designs, etc.

Surat is the biggest cloth market in India. The price range starts from Rs.200/- in wholesale Surat.

You can book online and prepay to manufacturers and sell on Amazon and Paytm at a competitive price. Manufacturers will provide the photos.

Note: Saree sales is a high-profit business but competitive too.

Suitable Sarees for healthy ladies

Posted on September 13, 2022November 19, 2022 by Sareeing Official

With love and credits to : Ajanta

Never think you are too healthy/thin.

Never think that wearing sarees will have physical requirements. Saree is that type of clothes which can suit to any Women (Of course, now a days Men also).

It is recommended to wear the light weighted saree which would be more comfortable for a healthy lady..

Georgette Saree

Silk Saree
Chanderi Saree
Chiffon Saree
Pure Silk Saree
Synthetic Saree
Tasar Silk Saree
Ghicha Silk Saree
Handloom Saree

The dark color you should choose for that purpose & have light ornaments with it.
Suggestion: Have some vertical stripe sarees that will help you to look tall & healthy but not “fat lady”.

Just enjoy your fashion without any hesitation 🙂

(Few more suggestion from Raakhee Menon got upvoted)

Avoid LOUD patterns.
No enormous paisleys.
No enormous roses. No over sized geometric patterns. No horizontal stripes!
If the sari is opaque, it’s best to avoid wearing the pallu in ‘floating’ style.
No Gujarati style please! Unless it is totally unavoidable, that is. This is a rather unflattering way of the wearing the sari, especially for a healthy lady.

There is absolutely no hint of the body shape from the front and this makes the wearer appear to look bigger than she actually is. There is only a slight view of the midriff from the side and from the backside, and this is also sometimes completely covered up. And if you have a rear you are not too proud of, you’d not want unwanted attention to those areas either. The Gujarati style looks stunning on a normal sized woman who has a pretty waist to show off. And this is the best way to show off those elaborate zari works.

But then you’ve gotta decide if you would flaunt your zardosi or your best overall look.

Chiffon or Georgette sarees are the perfect match for curvy shape as they would stick to the body and enhance its natural curves.These fabric will help you look slim and glamorous and give you a well-fitted and head-turning look. It is always recommended to to choose dark colors and prints as they will give curvier women slim and beautiful look.

Stick to simple blouses. Plain silk blouses are the best! Keep the sleeves to just above the elbow…sleeves that are too short or too long are highly likely to make you look…umm…huge!

If the sari is gaudy, the blouse has to be toned down. There is a likelihood of the wearer looking extra-large if they wear a gaudy sari and an equally gaudy blouse.

If you are putting shoulder pleats, make sure the pleats aren’t any broader than the width of one full palm of your right hand…the entire width from the left edge of your thumb to the right edge of your little finger. You could take this as an unspoken rule of thumb. Never fails. Don’t make the edge of the sari droop over your shoulder.

Try to make a few broad pleats in the front, so that the part you tuck in does not add to the size of your waist.

Undeclared fact. Your feet WILL BE noticed. Especially since they do the continuous hide-n-seek act. Try to wear heels if you’re okay in them. The beauty of the sari is enhanced if the wearer has a graceful gait. Call it magical but I find my gait becoming very feminine the moment I am in my high heels.

And always remember to wear your footwear before you wear the sari. This helps in getting the length right. You don’t want to look like you’re dressed to face the floods with an ankle high sari. And adjusting the height afterwards is a pain. I get scared that the sari would just tumble down from the waist with all that tugging and pulling!

Choose dark colors and stay far away from whites and off-whites. Dark colors seem to confuse the beholders about the size of the person wearing the sari.

Prefer to stay away from stiffly starched cotton and Georgette saris.

Prefer to wear saris that are flowy and easy to manage.

Prefer wearing light silks and thick chiffon for regular wear.

Happy Sareeing….!!!

Tips to style organza saree by Vasudha Jain

Posted on September 11, 2022January 30, 2023 by Sareeing Official

The word organzine, which describes the method of twisting silk fibres to create threads, is from which the name organza originally started. Although the name organzine is derived from Urgang in Turkestan, which was the location of one of the most well-known silk markets on the Silk Road, despite the fact that silk originated in China. The largest producer and exporter of organza currently is China. It has recently established itself as a trend-setter by gaining the support of fashion designers, the best-dressed Bollywood stars, and well-known fashion influencers.

Tips to style organza saree-

1) Leave the pallu dangling free over the shoulder rather than pinning them up or folding them.
2) After washing, never hang an organza saree. Don’t keep it in Sunlight.
3) Avoid loud colours and opt for pastel and dark shades as they look ethereal in the organza fabric.
4) Keep the saree as a star by pairing it with classic multi-layered pearl choker that will add the perfect touch to any shade of organza like whites or pastels
5) Style it with velvet blouse or crop top so left with tones of options to mix and match accessories.

2 Easy Draping Tips for SILK SAREES

Posted on September 6, 2022November 19, 2022 by Sareeing Official

Silk saris are one of our most prized possessions in our wardrobe. Especially, the ones passed on to us. The gorgeous vintage silk saris.

While draping silk sarees, it’s important to understand that the length of the sari and the pallu is important. Too long of either and your saree is sweeping the floor. Silk sarees are expensive and prone to damage and the worst thing you can do is to leave it dragging on the floor. Wouldn’t you agree my friends ?

Follow these 2 easy tip next time you drape your silk saree . It will make a world of difference.

1. When draping, make sure the bottom of the saree is just slightly almost at floor level. Not too low and not too high. Remember, silk sarees are heavy and eventually the drape will come down a bit.
2. When measuring the length of the pallu, bring the fabric to the front and make sure it doesn’t go beyond the knees level or slightly below. This way, your open pallu won’t drag on the floor.
