Get ready with a waist – to – floor length petticoat tied reasonably firmly at the waist by a drawstring and wear a fitted blouse that ends just below the bust.
Now, take the plain end of the Saree and start tucking it into the petticoat and wrap one full round from right to left. Make sure that the lower end of the Saree is just about an inch above the floor.
Hold Sari, just after the tucked portion, and start making pallu pleats measuring a span width each
Make about 7 to 10 pleats, depending on the length of the Saree and hold them up together so that they fall straight and even.
Tuck the arranged pleats into the petticoat slightly towards the left of the navel, and make sure that the pleat folds face left too.
Now hold the Saree and tuck it in the petticoat until around the back and bring the untied portion in front from the right
Now, make 6-7 pallu pleats at the shorter hem of the Saree and place it on the left shoulder such that the pallu falls just above the knee level. Fix pallu to the blouse with a safety pin.
With the Saree draped perfectly, revel in the beauty and grace of your complete look with complimenting jewelry.
