Learn how to wear a saree in Rajasthani Style


Basic Terms

The Indian blouse called "choli" is the traditional attire and is usually worn with the saree or lehnga. It is essentially a low cut midriff baring blouse. It could either be sleeveless, half sleeves or full sleeves. The choli is cut to fit tight.

Petticoat : A petticoat or underskirt is an article of clothing for women; specifically an undergarment to be worn under a saree. The petticoat is a separate garment hanging from the waist. Saree petticoats usually match the color of the saree.

Pallu: The fanciest patterned end or loose end of the saree that falls on the outside so that the design can be seen.

Step by step instructions :


Methods

  • Wear a petticoat/underskirt tightly tied by a drawstring at the waist.
  • A nicely fitted blouse/top is worn before draping the saree.
  • Tuck the first & upper end of the saree/material in the right hand side at the waistband of petticoat.
  • Take the material/saree to back & then taking it to the front by completing one round
  • Start making pleats of the palla side & then place it on your right shoulder throwing the fall in front & keeping the length little below the knee.
  • Finally pin it up on your shoulder.
  • Now, we take the entire material from back bringing it to the front & pin it up tightly at right hand side along with saree & petticoat just beneath the palla.
  • Take the left over material & start making pleats (you can make box pleats or go for normal ones).
  • Tuck the pleats inside the waist band at centre front neatly.
  • Now, take the last layer of the pleats of palla & drag it to the left hand side covering the bust area.
  • Finally fix it up with a pin just beneath the arms holding the palla tightly with the blouse & let the rest of palla falling at sides.
Stylish Rajasthani Draping Style

VARIATION-I

  • If the palla of the saree is heavy then we can make a V by dragging the corner of the palla & pinning it up at shoulder. In this way all the borders of the saree is shown.
