Step-by-Step Guide

Before we get started, make sure you have the following items:

Now that you have everything you need, let’s get started:

Take one end of the sari and tuck it into the petticoat at the center of your waist. Make sure the sari is snugly tucked in.
Wrap the sari around your waist once, from right to left. Make sure the border of the sari is level with the floor.
Tuck the sari into the petticoat at the back, making sure it’s snugly tucked in.
Bring the remaining fabric over your left shoulder and drape it over your head, covering your bust.
Take the remaining fabric and tuck it into the petticoat at the back, making sure it’s snugly tucked in.
Arrange the pleats at the front of the sari and tuck them into the petticoat at the center of your waist.
Adjust the pallu (the draped part over your head) so that it’s falling evenly and gracefully over your left shoulder.
Accessorize with bangles, earrings, and high heels.

And that’s it! You’re now ready to rock your sari.
