How To Drape Organza Sarees in Different Ways?

Organza sarees are one of the best options for women who are looking to accentuate their curves. Organza is a firm material by nature, which balloons up upon wearing, expanding the figure frame. You can wear these gorgeous sheer beauties and embrace the beauty of the fabric with the right drape and fall. An important thing to remember with organza sarees is that they cannot be easily tamed. The drape of the saree is extremely important, which if done up well, can really compliment any body type.

Tips to remember for your organza saree

  • The more the number of pleats, the more the saree will expand at the turns. So opt for the desired number of pleats.
  • While making the pleats at the waist, ensure the pleats are pinned together as the fabric is slippery and tough to hold on together.
  • Leave the pallu dangling free over the shoulder rather than pinning them up or folding them.
  • Never hang your organza saree after washing. Instead, lay it out on a flat surface, avoiding direct sunlight.
  • Noticed an irritating stain on your saree? Start by applying a mild liquid detergent to the stained area, and wash it off with cold water after having let it soak for a few minutes.
  • Avoid loud colours and opt for pastel and dark shades as they look ethereal in the organza fabric.

9 – What Accessories to Wear with an Organza Saree?

Your organza saree in itself is the most beautiful piece you adorn. To keep the saree as the star of the event, you can opt for a simple look by pairing the saree with a classic multi-layered pearl choker that will add the perfect touch to any shade of organza like whites or pastels as seen below, or even with gorgeous dark shades. Like we see here, you can pair the saree beautifully with a sleeveless spaghetti strap blouse in a color that perfectly compliments the saree while adding a pop of color to your pastel selection.

Another trick that you could try is using your crop tops as blouses for your sarees! Yes, you read that absolutely right! You can save an extra buck on the blouse by choosing a block color crop top as seen on Priyanka, who is seen wearing a red velvet-ish blouse. This way, you are left with tons of options and a variety to mix and match your accessories when you style your organza sarees.

8 – Monochrome Organza Saree

When in doubt, go monochrome! A classic way to style your organza saree is to opt for monochromatic style to achieve a sophisticated and elegant look. When styling your saree that has light zari weaving, you can opt for a blouse in the same shade with thread work and choose a more modernized look for the blouse like spaghetti straps, to create a bit of fusion in the very classic saree style.

Leave the pallu open over the shoulder for a relaxed and flowy look and pair the ensemble with statement earrings in the same color palette to complete the minimalistic monochromatic look. This look fits perfectly for day/night events- be it for weddings or other festivities and functions. An alternate styling tip is to pair the look with a heavy choker necklace, a classic hairdo in a bun paired with fresh flowers. This will add the extra glamour the look needs for grand day parties and events.

7 – Floral Organza Saree

Attending a pre-wedding ceremony but can’t seem to put your mind to wearing a heavy lehenga or saree? You can choose an organza look in bright day colors like yellows and pastel pinks to create a look perfect for summer festivities. If you own a floral print organza saree, you can pair the saree with a deep-cut v-neck sleeveless blouse for the right summer/spring vibe.

Pair the saree with a long neckpiece like a beaded long necklace in complementary colors to further enhance the outfit. A pair of nude or dull gold block-heeled sandals will make for the perfect choice that will let you move about in comfort throughout the day. A classy sleeked-back ponytail and minimal accessories like an accent ring will bring together the outfit and will have you looking like a breath of fresh air on a fun, eventful summer day.

6 – With Puff-Sleeve Blouse

If you are bored with regular blouses, you can try styling your organza saree with a puff-sleeve blouse! Although not one of the conventional blouse styles that are paired with sarees, when worn with a beautifully draped light-colored organza, floral print saree, it can add a vintage cottage-core feel to the outfit.

A gorgeous chiffon puff sleeve blouse paired with very minimal accessories can create a beautiful day-to-night transition outfit, with hair let down and sleeked back. It can make for a simple yet beautiful outfit with just the right amount of ‘extra’, thanks to the puff-sleeve blouse. The blouse can be tailored to your liking and what makes it better is its versatility and how well it can be paired with long skirts and lehengas and can spice up your regular festive looks.

5 – Styling the Classic White Organza Saree

White is one such color that allows for a wide range of vibrant color contrasting and creates room to mix and match and play around with your colors. If you own a white organza saree with a hand-painted border as seen in the picture, you can choose to keep the look minimal along the monochrome line.

Or you can play around and have fun with color and choose to include it in your outfit in the form of a mini statement handbag! Adding color into your outfit in this manner avoids attracting a lot of attention to heavy jewelry that you would ordinarily pair with your ensemble, and keeps all the focus and attention on the gorgeous work on the saree which a small statement handbag can perfectly compliment while keeping the accessories at the bare minimum. Here are some more of my favorite white saree designs.

Let’s be clear on this one- silver jewelry, paired with absolutely anything, is a stunning classic! When deciding what to pair with your white organza saree, a classic styling tip is to pair silver oxidised jewelry with it. Afghani jewelry or silver oxidised jewelry make for amazing statement styling pieces that quickly enhance your outfit- even if you are to wear just a pair of heavy silver jhumkas.

This adds on to the beauty of a simple elegant saree while making you feel extra glamourous with statement pieces like a silver choker style neckpiece, heavy ornate jhumkas, or even big statement rings. Clubbed with a 3/4th sleeve blouse, adds a bit of a vintage flare to the outfit further styled with hair tied up in a low bun, classic winged eyeliner, and bold lips.
