Tutorials to Wear Saree in Different Ways

#10 – Bengali Draping Style

Bengali draping style is surely one of the easiest ones and will manage to buy you that ultimate look that stands out the best with nothing but the right skills. And all you would be needing are two wide pleats which are mandatory, and perhaps a huge key ring with keys so that the double-wrapped hanging can be held down. Hanging as in the (pallu) on your side. What has to be focused on is basically the fact that Bengali sarees are most nicely worn if you choose to go with hand-loom ones or may be just simple and light cotton ones. Although brocade saree will always work too, if that’s what you prefer.

#8 – Maharashtrian Draping Style

This style is quite distinct and also very typical of Mahashtrian culture – while also is rarely preferred by Indian women overall. And women mainly go for this style for costume parties or cultural day wear. Furthermore, this particular style saree is also longer with 9 yards in total – rather than 6. While for draping, a petticoat isn’t really needed. Jasmine flowers and a nose ring are good choices to go with!

#7 – Mermaid Style

The Mermaid style saree is so adorned because it goes quite finely with all body types; although curvaceousness might help you get an edge here. The lower portion of the saree is actually disguised to look like a skirt and gives an enduring slim look to the wearer. The border should be embellished and the pallu should be heavy and overflowing.

#6 – The Butterfly Draping Style

This style is more associated with that Bollywood’s style of saree culture and technically speaking – the butterfly style is just a slight twist to the typical Nivi style. The main distinction here is really about how the pallu is stylized into a thin space so the midriff becomes quite visible. Material like chiffon, net, etc. are used for butterfly style sarees with mostly a highly embellished blouse. And if you do it this way then you can surely attain that Bollywood super model type look.
