Some Dos and Don’ts:

• Do choose the right blouse for your body shape: A great fitted blouse is everything you want and need, so look for a good tailor. If you’re curvy, you should definitely go with a quarter or full sleeves. And if you want to add some volume to your chest area, you can go completely sleeveless and add embellishments on the neckline or tussles at the back of the blouse.

• Do wear a colour that enhances your skin tone: Many people are unaware of the fact that some colors can make you look a lot dull while others can make your skin glow. If you’re light-toned, go for bright and bold colors, but black will look the best. Beige, bronze, and chic red look the best on wheatish girls while golden and copper look amazing on dark-skinned beauties.

• Don’t forget to tie the Petticoat nicely: Petticoat keeps your saree in place, so tie it nicely, keeping in view its length and the length of the saree. If you tie it much below, it will make your overall look droopy. Don’t tie it much above your navel than it should be as it will show your ankles if you’re wearing a see-through saree.

• Do choose a fabric that is easy to handle: Carrying a saree is an art, and one needs to master it you need to prioritize your comfort. Choose something that you will be able to carry elegantly and gracefully. Don’t go for fabrics such as net or chiffon if it’s your first time as it can make you look clumsy.

• Don’t be afraid of using safety pins: Want to carry a saree without any hassle? Tie it with a bunch of safety pins to keep it in place. This will make your saree look neat, tidy, and properly managed.

• Don’t compromise on comfort. You don’t necessarily need to wear stiletto heels if you don’t want to as with no previous practice you will keep on tripping over things the whole event. Rather go with something you’re comfortable with. It can be platform heels or wedges or even flats. Just have a graceful gait and stun everyone!

• Do experiment with different draping styles. Draping style can either make the look or break the look. A saree draped too high looks unattractive while a saree draped too low can make you look chubby. Find the perfect balance, and you’re ready to rock.

• Do pick your jewelry beforehand. Too much jewelry can look a bit overwhelming and old fashioned. Wear a few pieces of unique and dainty jewelry to add to your look. You can always count on a statement necklace for the spark you need.

• Don’t let your bra straps peek through. Make sure to choose a bra that suits your blouse well because peeking bra straps look quite unflattering and weird.

• Do try different pally draping styles. You need to learn this from your mom or an aunt to master this technique. Or you could just learn it from a few youtube videos. Ensure that your saree’s pallu is not too narrow or too broad as it can give your saree an awkward shape.
