How to drape a saree in ten simple steps

Posted on by Sareeing Official
  • STEP ONE: To begin wearing a saree you need to get hold of all those items necessary for draping a saree. The things you need will be safety pins, accessories, petticoats, footwear, blouses or bralette, and of course a saree. Many of these items are solely up to an individual’s choice. These may seem like minor details but these are what goes behind making this garment irresistible.
  • STEP TWO: After assembling every necessary item start by putting on a blouse or bralette of your choice and a fitted petticoat. This is the most important saree wearing recommendation to remember. Make sure your petticoat’s or underskirt’s color is able to blend in with the color of your saree.
  • STEP THREE: Ensure that your petticoat is firmly tied around your waist as your saree will be tucked into the underskirt. It is up to an individual’s choice whether they want to wear footwear beforehand to access the saree’s fall. Now proceed to twist the saree around your waist, gradually tucking it into your petticoat. Generally, the plain or non-bordered side is tucked inside. Maintain a proper length to avoid toppling over and ensure that the grasp is comfortable enough for you neither too loose nor too tight.

  • STEP FOUR: After bringing the saree around your waist in a full circle after twisting and tucking it in, now start forming pleats with the leftover fabric with the help of your thumb and forefinger all one at a time. Pay close attention to the appropriate tucking so that the saree falls evenly on all sides. Avoid rushing so that the saree’s appearance won’t look unappealing.
  • STEP FIVE: Try to make a total of five to six pleats each approximately the width of your hand. Shorter and regular pleats make one look taller but if one has a tiny waist they can form five to six pleats spanning their thumb and forefingers to attain a pleasant look.
  • STEP SIX: After arranging the pleats in the front of your navel tuck them into your petticoat just beneath the navel. For a more secure look, one can fasten the pleats by tagging them to the petticoat with the help of safety pins. It helps to maintain your saree intact while you walk around.
  • STEP SEVEN:  Take the other end of the saree, this section of the saree serves as “pallu” or chest and shoulder cover. It has a vital role in the appearance of the saree so make sure that this part is wrinkle-free and smooth. Generally, the ‘pallu’ is pleated and tucked with the help of safety pins but it is on individuals whether they would like to keep a pleated look or not.
  • STEP EIGHT: Nowadays people usually prefer the floating look of pallu but it is all a matter of choice. If you are interested in achieving this look simply pull the pallu towards your shoulder and keep it to your shoulder for a floating effect. Hold it at the forearm or leave it until the very last moment.

  • STEP NINE: With a tiny or medium-sized pin secure the pallu’s bottommost pleat with the blouse just behind the shoulder, ensuring that the pallu remains secure and firm in its place on the shoulder.
  • STEP TEN: Lastly, do a quick review around and adjust the pleats in front to create a nice look, and use pins as needed. Adjust the length of the saree, make sure it falls at least an inch above. Avoid any wrinkling, make sure it is tied firmly, and voila now you are good to go.

There are several ways to drape a saree but it is up to an individual’s choice as to what improvements they want to make. The style above discussed is the classic style of draping a saree.

As it is rightly said, “practice makes perfect” same is with it. Many individuals may find it quite intimidating to properly drape a saree but that elegance lies beneath enough practice.

So what are you waiting for now? You have already got to know about draping in these meticulous procedures and master the technique of wearing it correctly thus you’re one step closer to sticking out in a crowded room.

Happy #Sareeing




Breast Feeding in Saree – Jessica Menon

Posted on by Sareeing Official
Breast feeding is also called Nursing. Making decision to breastfeed is a personal matter.
Many women, especially those who started Sareeing recently are worried about “how to breastfeed wearing a Saree?”
We have found a very much useful article on this matter. This is written by Mrs.Jessica Menon in her ” https://www.gypsymomma.com “.
Breastfeeding in a Sari
breastfeeding in a sari
The bride and groom

I just left to Colombo, Sri Lanka after a two week stay in Kerala, India with my two year old and three month old. We met my husband there on the way to Kerala (at our connection in the Abu Dhabi airport) and stayed with his mother and sister at their home in Kerala.

Much of our time in India we spent working remotely and visiting with family.  We were able to get away for a quick mountain retreat in the shockingly green, ever-ending sea of tea plantations in Munnar (the subject of my next blog). We also had the honor of going to a beautiful traditional wedding, which required that I wear a sari.

Saris are beautiful, and I was looking forward to my husband’s sister assisting me fold, pleat, wrap, and tuck the large rectangular piece of cloth.  I chose to wear a traditional Kerala sari, which is white with simple gold and red trim.  However, I was a bit nervous about how I would breastfeed both my infant and my toddler wearing my sari in public at a formal wedding celebration, particularly considering how conservative the general public in this area of the world is when it comes to breasts, women showing skin, and breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding Surya in a sari

I at first thought I was doomed to sitting in a hot dark corner, or worse a bathroom, unpinning my sari and sitting on a toilet seat feeding my baby- and nursing my toddler would be impossible.  However, when I inquired with my sister-in-law how I would manage, she shrugged and showed me how to just keep the sari blouse unclipped for easy access. There are about six metal loops that hook into the front of the sari blouse, so it’s closed in the back and hooked up in the front.  The sari material covers this entire area with the folded material, anyway.  So, I simply hooked the top two clasps, and the bottom.

When I needed to breastfeed, it was actually quite simple- I just unclasped the bottom hook and lifted up my bra.  It seemed, actually- and probably- that saris are quite well designed for breastfeeding.  The sari material across the chest perfectly covers the nipple area and drapes across the chest perfectly.  So, even my fussy 3 month that does not like his head covered I could position perfectly so he could nurse freely without his head covered, but the material provided just enough coverage that it appeared almost as if I was just holding him and not nursing him at all.

However, if I were to design a completely breastfeeding-friendly sari, I would simply make the bottom part of the sari blouse stretchy elastic.  Instead of unclasping the hooks and keeping it open (with a gaping hole showing my breasts and bra, even though covered by sari material), one could easily just pull up and stick baby’s mouth on.  But I won’t be wearing saris often enough to make that a big deal, and I am sure the breastfeeding women who do wear them often enough are pros at quickly flicking the clasps to make way for baby.

Wedding lunch feast

When we arrived at the wedding ceremony in a large hall, I was admittedly still cautious about where I would feed my little ones.  As much of a public breastfeeder I am, I was already drawing enough unwanted attention due to the color of my skin and didn’t care for drawing more attention.  But as my infant began to fuss the milk fuss, and my toddler began to whine, “want mommy’s booby juice,” I glanced over to a quiet corner with empty chairs obstructed partially by a large column.  There was a mother sitting quietly with her two year old in her lap contentedly breastfeeding just below her sari.

So I sat next to her and nursed my infant a we exchanged quick glances and affirming smiles while my husband provided a little bit of shelter from the curious gazes.  And soon after, if it was time for a delicious lunch feast.  By the time I arrived back home, though, my sari was a mess after a day of my children in my lap, under and over my sari.  My mother-in-law was right when she shook her finger at me and my toddler earlier that morning and warned me, “Children spoil saris.”

My sari was indeed spoiled, but having my children close by me and experiencing the wedding through my toddler’s eyes made it all the more fun to wear a sari for the day.  And now I have a new respect for how breast-feeding friendly those not-so-complicated saris are.”

I want to soar high in the sky,
wanting to touch and feel its buttery texture..
I wish to swoop down and experience the adrenaline rush..
What is it to fly freely and not worried of getting wings clipped
and threatening the sole purpose of living??
What is to experience life without a thought of reaching pinnacle or touching the ground??
Each day, I get intimidated by my life as I imagine it questioning me about my purpose..
Each day , I sit down with all the thoughts that sprout from my core for this very inquest .

The picture above is from one of her recent posts where she shared one of her beautiful creations. What captured our eyes apart from the quotes is her choice of saree and appearance which sits so well with her writing. She wore this beautiful floral saree which beautifully represents the love she expressed by personifying nature and its elements. Accessorized with a choker, and wearing a sleeveless spaghetti-style blue-colored blouse, her appearance looks serene as she appreciates the beauty of nature.

I Want to feel special again..

But I wish to do everything only with you again .
There is no one else and cant be anyone else other than you .

The picture is also from her collection of posts where she through her art of writing expressed the beauty of falling in love and the joys of romance. She justified her statements by her appearance by wearing a polka-dotted saree. This purple-colored saree with a pink tint has quite an elegant vibe to it. She paired her saree with a blouse of the same color having intricate detailings on the end. It is indeed an art to portray the colors of your writing through your outfits and if it is appreciating your cultural roots, it is like a cherry on top.

We are tenacious till the very last microsecond.
We split into irreparable and uncountable bits once we reach that breaking point.
The majority of the time, we receive void.
Even tears and grief can't fill that void, no matter how hard we try.
Rarely does a person, a phrase, or a gesture come along that may steadily make its mark on our desolate country.
A vacuum will be our constant till then.

Such are words of her and to match the vibe of her writing she chose to wear a soothing white and vibrant yellow-colored saree. She paired it up with accessories that give off a boho look to her appearance. The richness of the color reflects the hope she wants to emanate to her audience through her work. It is indeed an astonishing art to pair up your words with your love for clothing.
Apart from her posts, there are a few images that we are grateful she shared with us. The photos that follow show how she is not just a talented writer but also a saree aficionado.

She was dressed in a saree with a variety of colors, including black, gray, and several shades of orange, as seen in the photo above. She wore it with an amazing blouse with intricate motifs depicting varying shades of orange on each line. Her entrancing look was completed by her open locks, a black bindi that matched her saree’s hue, gold stud earrings, bangles, and pendant.

In the image displayed above, she is wearing an orange-dominated saree with pink borders having black and white striped designs. To keep the whole color scheme in check, she wore it with a pink sleeveless blouse. Finally, she added an oxidized choker, golden bangles, and a gold pendant to complete the ensemble.

She wore a bright orange saree with delicate patterns and combined it with a brilliant blue-colored golden polka-dotted full-sleeve shirt in the photo above. She is accessorized with chandelier-shaped earrings with exquisite workmanship and gold studded necklaces to give the fairly plain-looking ensemble a twist. Finally, she finished off her ethnic style with a Gajra-wrapped hairdo.

She’s wearing a vibrantly violet-colored Bandhani saree with a basic sleeveless bright orange blouse in the photo above. She teamed the Bandhani saree with heavy necklaces and earrings with elaborately detailed pictures on them to accent the motifs.

She is an example of how telling an appropriate tale at the right moment is an art but doing so while promoting your culture is one of a kind.




For This Gudi Padwa’23 | How to give a Five-yard Saree a Nauvari (Nine-yard) Saree look

Posted on by Sareeing Official

The Nauvari saree is a traditional saree that basically traces its origins in Maharashtra.

It is notable for its long length of 9 yards (8.23 meters). A regular saree is 5.5 meters or 6 meters long, but a Nauvari saree is 8 meters long or longer.
Maharashtrian saree types are popular for traditional occasions such as festivals and weddings. Because Maharashtra’s history focuses on warriors, and brides (called “Navri” in Marathi) thus they wear “Nauvari Saree”, a dhoti-style saree.
Traditional Marathi saree styles include the Kasta style and the Nauvari saree drapes. Slight distinctions in draping distinguish Maharashtrian saree kinds and draping techniques worn as part of Maharashtrian culture heritage. At traditional Maharashtrian weddings, there are several ways to drape a Nauvari saree. But oftentimes it can be tedious for one to drape it whether you are in a rush or you are a newbie to this draping style.

 


The above reel is of shwetasreflection_ig who demonstrated a hack on how to drape a five-yard saree into a Nauvari style. 

  • Take a saree of your choice and then divide it proportionally on both sides.
  • Now take the saree’s inner piece and wrap it around your waist in the rear, then pull the end from the front to the right side, tying a solid knot.
  • Take the left side of the saree containing the border and make pleats and arrange them neatly. After this take this section and pull to the back and tuck it inside the wrapped portion. 
  • Similarly, with the other portion of the saree that contains the Pallu, make pleats on it and make a wrap-around giving a loop effect. Now pull that side on the front and with the formed pleats rest the pallu on your shoulder.
  • And yes you have achieved a Nauvari-style drape. Secure the pleats with safety pins if it is necessary. 

 

At the very least, give this technique a shot to see if you can perfect it.

 




 

The Saree journey of Jola

Posted on by Sareeing Official

I have a pretty interesting journey when it comes to my love for sarees. The big credit for that goes to my mother who herself is a big saree enthusiast.
My mother, like any other Indian lady in the 1960s and 1970s, wore a saree on a daily basis. Considering those days it was nothing out of the usual back then.
I still have fond memories of her sarees which she used to wear back there were not many in her collection of sarees but each of them were specifically designated for any special events, workplace or for general use.
I recall her referring to synthetic sarees as “Poonam ki saree” and there was a specific orderliness in her collection of sarees for an instance Vimal sarees for day and night draping, sarees that were made out of fabrics like starched cottons and kota sarees were for office wear, whereas on the other hand silk saree, Banarasi saree, kanjivaram saree, and Tanchoi saree were meant for important events, special occasions, and festivals.

Unlike today’s times re-wearing a saree was not something to be embarrassed about.
Sharing your collection of sarees among your sisters, daughters, friends e.t.c. was a source of honor.
These small gestures made so many fond memories and beautiful moments among each other that were cherished for a very long time.


As is human nature, watching everyone around me in saree did not make me curious to know more about this garment. During my childhood days, I gravitate more towards western attire. I used to wear western attires in several events that I used to attend. It was only in events such as farewells,cultural activities at school or college that I wore my mother’s saree.


When I got wed my mother carefully selected my bridal trousseau. She added Mulberry silks, Kosa silks, Kanjivaram silks, Tanchoi silks, Banarasi silks, silk tissues, South silks, and so on.
But as i was quite distant from the charm of this garment so I was apprehensive and simply wanted to look at a few chiffons and georgettes by overlooking those beautiful sarees.
It was because of Yash Chopra ji and his lovely ladies Rekha and Sridevi that i got curious about Chiffon sarees and Georgette sarees.
I began wearing silks after entering the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, Pusa, New Delhi, because see-through sarees do not appear appropriate or decent in intellectual and scientific settings.
That, however, was the turning moment for me. My senior colleagues, scientists, and mentors (all of whom were women) used to observe and appreciate my mother’s choice of weaving techniques and talked about the designs present on my sarees, and we used to talk a lot about it.


After being publicly appreciated a lot for my choice of sarees I felt incredible. It was the acknowledgement I received from my peers that I finally got interested in sarees.
I, too, became interested in Indian weavings, artistry, and valuable legacy.
It transported me to another universe. That was the beginning of my six-yard affair.
My wardrobe transitioned from western apparel and synthetic fibers to Indian dress and natural fibers such as silks, cottons, and other natural fibers.
It was a drastic change from machine-made garments to handcrafted garments.
Literally what I feel is that draping a saree is a form of meditation, and it is unquestionably beneficial.
I can’t express my sentiments and love for sarees in words, just like any other love my love for sarees can be summed up in these two sentences-
सिर्फ़ एहसास है ये रूह से महसूस करो
प्यार को प्यार ही रहने दो कोई नाम न दो
Film : ख़ामोशी

Golfing in a Saree | Shruti Singh’s Saree Sport Story

Posted on by Sareeing Official

Playing golf in a saree I guess no one might have heard about before.
People might think it is an erratic decision and being draped in this six-yard elegance while playing golf must be so uncomfortable but no it is not.

Well, I saw several social media posts regarding how several women have stood up to promote through their various arenas.
There were several events where contemporary tasks were finished while maintaining our cultural identity by our proud saree wearers.
Be it through going on a world tour while wearing a saree, moving Hula Hoops while being in saree, attending several big events while wearing a saree just so the beauty of this garment can be showcased in front of the world, to playing basketball in saree.
Even what might seem like an uncomfortable sport for saree wearers such as skiing, cycling, and snowboarding have been done by several proud saree wearers effortlessly. The list is pretty long and it goes on and on but I am yet to see anyone golfing in a saree.
This thought has been in the back of my head for a pretty long time and I always wanted to give it a try so here I am golfing while being draped in a saree and bringing my thoughts into reality and testing the versatility of this beauty.

Above is the picture of me standing in a golf court and slaying the look in a saree.
I am wearing a saree which has a slight tint of red and pink color. I really loved the richness of this color and made me look ecstatic about my golfing.
For utmost comfort, while being on a golf court I have ditched the traditional footwear that has been always assumed to be paired up with a saree.
I have put my comfort first and thus wore a white pair of sneakers. Well, they do look good and gave off a funky look so yes I was happy with my choice.
To top off this look I teamed my saree with a white top instead of a typical blouse.
I wanted to make this look as comfortable as it can be and add up as many modern elements as I can so that it might relate to the wider range of audiences who have this notion that saree is mere traditional wear and its usage is only limited to certain events.
The comfort I had while wearing this Mul saree is beyond mentioning in words.
Amidst the heated weather, the fabric of this saree was comfortable for me as it tried to pare away the scorching effects of heat. In this searing heat, I somehow ventured to attempt wearing it and I must say I was not disappointed at all.

Well, I agree with the fact that every sport has got its prescribed dress code and it must have been decided through well-designed procedures but my favorite hobby is breaking the stereotyped rules.

The comfort I had while wearing this fabric is unmatchable. It was because of the fabric that it was so easy to drape this six-yard elegance and smash all stereotypes it was quite relaxing wearing it.  Your preference to a Mul saree will be on top after wearing.

This is the final result of my adventure in golfing while wearing a saree and I must say that the comfort is unrivaled.

I believe that saree might be worn from casual to traditional and that is the beauty of its versatility. It is not just beautiful and fashionable but also comfortable. It is an empowering ensemble. Those six yards too can find a new dimension if one knows how to choose the right fabric and the right draping skills.

Travel with Susmitha in a Saree to San Francisco – Travel Saree Story

Posted on by Sareeing Official

When it comes down to venturing into a landmark of love that is also honored to grab a place being one among the world’s seven wonders we instantly get reminded of the monument of love that is none other than the Taj Mahal. It is a symbol of one’s commitment to their lover and is cherished by a vast population all around the world.
But what if we change the course in a slightly different way? Why not explore the foreign land along with the essence of our tradition. What would be more traditional than wearing our cherished garment saree to a foreign land? It not only portrays our culture but also the fact that we appreciate our ancestral garment and even being in a foreign country we are constantly connected to our roots.
It would be fun to tour the west coast in a Taj saree!!

So as I said so I did the same and explored the places on the West Coast draped in a saree. Here as you can see I’m wearing a lovely Banarasi Rangkot saree which is a handloom saree and is an epitome of a handmade yet pure tradition. This is one of our best works and truly this is a work of beauty. I must tell you all about the fact that a Banarasi Rangkot is a unique handloom beauty that is both challenging to weave and turn into the beauty it looks plus to make it in a quality that remains ageless in appeal as well as quality. This saree clearly exemplifies Banarasi weaving traditions by the fact that it depicts traditional Bootis, a rich pallu with magnificent Paisleys, and a whole palette of color present on it giving an effect of a rainbow. The saree has an intriguing border with elaborate and careful detailing of the wonder of marvels the Taj Mahal in gold jari all over the length of the saree and the pallu with gold detailing complements this masterpiece overall.
In the above picture, I was present at San Francisco’s Lincoln Park Steps which is a beautiful stairway with colorfully tiled steps. They have wonderful blue, yellow, orange, and green tile patterns on them. These concrete steps were built in the early 1900s. The color of the saree’s pallu and the steps clearly compliment each other.

The picture above if you see clearly is a blend of two very famous landmarks of this world. In the background, we have the Golden Gate Bridge which is a suspension bridge linking San Francisco Bay and the pacific ocean. In the foreground, we have the Taj Mahal which has been inscribed as an intricate detail on the pallu itself. I have tried picturing both famous landmarks in one picture itself. The beauty of the saree and the draper is defined by an intricately woven union of Banaras yarn with the brightness of brilliant colored strips.

 

Several people believe that while you are traveling or exploring places wearing a saree might be uncomfortable. Then I must demolish your preconceived notions as a saree can be one of the most comfortable garments to wear provided that you are wearing the right fabric and draping it well.

Here as I was taking an Evening walk in Golden State Park where I got mesmerized by the serene view out there that the saree’s fabric was doing its work. I didn’t feel any tint of discomfort or suffocation, rather the saree provided me with the proper ventilation, and even though I had a long day the fabric was fast enough to absorb sweat, not to mention the happiness I felt wearing it all around and showcasing the wonderful culture we have got. Carrying and displaying this six-yard canvas of exquisite beauty in an elegant and graceful manner is like a rainbow draped in a cloud moving around.


Although I appreciate all sorts of sarees, my favorites are handloom sarees that showcase beautiful designs and long-cherished Indian cultures and customs. Lastly, I would really love to suggest you all wear a saree next time whenever you are exploring or traveling cause it’s all a myth that a saree obstructs your fun to travel rather it just adds to the fun.

Few personal tips for Sareeing while enjoying vacation :

Wear sneakers beneath the saree for a vacation. Steer clear of flats/high heels. Trust me, nobody cares and nobody will even notice. Comfort should be the main factor, and nothing else!

Use enough safety pins so that your saree stays put in place. The pleats need not be perfect. Try not to leave the pallu loose initially. Pin your pallu. Walk confidently, nothing else matters!

You can even try altering the drape of the pallu. Use it as a scarf around your neck to give it an ooomph factor! During winters, you could layer a saree beneath a long jacket. You will turn heads, trust me!

P.S : We get lot of compliments when we wear our indian saree for travel in west as they love our rich and unique outfits they always feel happy and it will be a cherished moment.

What is your most fav saree in vacation memory?

This Bollywood diva who is also an ambassador of UNEP discarded the notion of wearing a lehenga and instead, she wore a red Banarasi silk saree which had a thick golden border to set a trend. She paired it along with a crimson red-colored Organza dupatta which too had a golden border. In an intimate wedding ceremony, she married Vaibhav Rekhi. The actress wore this bright red saree along with a matching crimson-colored veil and lastly accessorized it with minimum jewelry. Her saree stole the show due to its graceful yet modest appearance. Her beautiful and lovely bridal appearance was enough to set the comeback of traditional bridal sarees. 

These divas are the prime example of how sarees being the epitome of simplicity can dominate the show. The wedding of any bride is one of the most important days of her life. Every bride aspires to look stunning and it must be up to them what to wear. So if you want a traditional yet chic look, and want to make an unexpected appearance without struggling through the management of a hefty lehenga then do consider inculcating bridal sarees for your upcoming wedding events.
