Start with the right saree: Choose a saree that you like and that suits your body type. You may want to go for a light-weight fabric like chiffon or georgette, as they are easier to drape.
Wear the right undergarments: Make sure to wear a comfortable and well-fitted petticoat, as this will help the saree drape better. You may also want to wear a padded bra to create a more feminine shape.
Start with the pleats: Begin by tucking the saree into the petticoat at the navel, making pleats with the remaining fabric. Make sure that the pleats are even and well-defined.
Drape the saree around your waist: Once you have made the pleats, drape the saree around your waist, making sure that the pleats fall neatly. Secure the saree in place with a safety pin.
Bring the pallu over your shoulder: Take the loose end of the saree, which is called the pallu, and drape it over your shoulder. You may want to experiment with different draping styles to find one that suits you.
Accessorize: Finish off your look by adding some accessories, like bangles, earrings, or a bindi.
Remember, draping a saree takes practice, so don't get discouraged if it doesn't look perfect the first time. With some patience and practice, you'll be able to master the art of saree draping.
