8. Collar-Neck Blouse
This is the perfect blouse to give you a stylish, corporate yet decent look. Ideal for your office as this blouse looks very formal when worn with a cotton or silk saree.
From the Traditional and Regional ways of draping sarees, let me show you how you can drape your saree in a more stylish way to do justice to your designer blouses.
1. Butterfly draping style
This style of draping a saree is mostly flaunted by our Bollywood celebrities. It is similar to the nivi style except that the pallu is pinned up into very thin pleats so that the midriff and naval is visible. This saree plays a catalyst in enhancing your feminism and sensuality. A chiffon or net saree with heavy embellished blouse is all you need for this look
2. Mermaid Draping Style
This style is known to look good on all body types, however it has an added advantage for girls with curvaceous bodies. The lower portion of the saree is draped to resemble a skirt and hence giving a slimmer look.
3. Lehenga Saree Draping Style
It is an easy way of turning your saree into a lehenga with the help of pleats tucked all around your waist. You can then style the pallu according to your preference.
4. Dhoti Style Saree
Sonam Kapoor turned heads in her dhoti saree designed by Masaba Gupta. So can you. You will need a contemporary blouse and a pair of lycra tights for this style. Wear a good pair of high heels to complete the look. It can get a little tricky at first but with practice you can ace this style of draping.
5. Tulip Draping Style
Anamika Khanna became a trendsetter with her latest style of saree draping –Tulip Style. This requires a saree of much shorter length (2.5-3 mtrs) and instead of an under skirt, a good pair of leggings or trousers are used.
A few things to keep in mind before venturing into the whole 9 yards are
• Make sure you have the right under skirt for your saree.
• Always wear your heels before draping the saree.
• If you are wearing backless or deep neck blouses, make sure your back is waxed, cleaned and well moisturized.
• If you are wearing a padded blouse, make sure you have a tying up facility (dori) else you will end up having and off-shoulder or boat neck blouse because of the weight of your pallu.
• If and when you are wearing a blouse which shows off your back, style your hair accordingly. No point in having a beautiful blouse when your hair is going to cover it all
So girls, drape it up and be a diva. Hope you’ll liked my post.
Fun Fact: The song “saree ke fall sa” kept playing in my mind in a loop since the time Jomol asked me if I could do a post on saree styling.http://makeupandbeauty.com/how-to-style-your-saree-like-a-diva/
