The Art of Draping a Saree

An unstitched rectangle piece of sheer elegance is how you define a saree. A normal saree measures 6 yards in length, which is draped around waist in such a way that anyone who wears it looks so feminine. The length of saree gives wearer an ample scope to creatively experiment new styles of draping a saree. A saree can be worn in various styles. In India, the draping style differs from region to region and state to state.

A woman draped in saree looks sensuous, elegant and graceful. Saree is the only outfit in India in which a woman is draped all over and still looks super sensuous and not vulgar at all. Saree reveals as much as it hides. A perfectly draped saree can make you look perfect and out of the world but a clumsy draped saree will make you look hideous and will bring down your personality.

Saree draping is considered as an art and requires a lot of practice. The experienced person takes about 5 – 10 minutes to drape whereas a first timer can take a lifetime. A saree is such an outfit that adds to the style, attitude and confidence of the wearer.

With time came in various modern styles of draping saree. A successful experiment with the 6-yard rectangular unstitched piece of cloth gives birth to a new style. Because of this experimentation, today there are hundreds of styles.

However, it is a traditional outfit for Indian women, but it is never out of fashion and is always an evergreen dressing for Indian women. Today in the hectic lives of Indian working women, it has become an occasional dress, but the love for saree has not decreased at all. Their wardrobes are still packed and full of their possessions.

It is considered the most sensuous, stylish and sophisticated attire even today. From Shimmering Silks and Elegant Chiffon to Flowing Crepes and Georgette, available in vivid colors and embellished with the most intricate embroidery work, saree comes in the most mesmerizing avatars one can imagine. Such wide-ranging variety makes it suitable for all occasions – from weddings to formal functions and official meetings to social get-togethers. Moreover, it looks gorgeous on women of all ages and builds.
