Indian Subcontinent And Bangladeshi Women
And Is, By Far The Most Elegant. It Is Not
Merely An Outfit But A Living Art Or An
Ornament, Lending Both Grace And Glamour

6. THE TADITIONAL METHODS
OF
SAREE DRAPING

7. One Of The Most
Recognizable Saree Draping
Style Is The Bengali Style.
Unlike The Modern Day
Saree, It Has A Box Pleat At
The Front. The Pallu Comes
From Back To The Front On
Both Sides. Traditionally A
Bunch Of Keys Was
Attached To The Pallu
Thrown Over The Right
Shoulder. This Signified The
Most Important
The Nauvari Or The Original
Nine-yard Saree Speaks
Volumes About The Strong,
Independent Women Of
Maharashtra. This Saree
Draping Style Is Distinguished
By Its Unusual Draping Pattern
Which Necessitates It Being
Worn Around The Legs Like A
Dhoti While The Upper Part Is
Worn Like A Normal Saree.
ATHPOUREY SHARI
FROM BENGAL
Modern Day Saree Drape Is
Derived From The Nivi
Drape Of Andhra Pradesh.
This Style Was Mostly Worn
By The Aristocracy.

8. The Coorgi Style Finds A Mention In A Popular
Story Of Kaveri And Agastya. This Draping Style
Evolved To Help Coorgi Women Lead An Active
Life — Climbing The Hilly Slopes Of The
Western Ghats And Trees On A Daily Basis.
This Drape Is Primarily Worn By
The Golla (Shepherd) And The
Gudati Kapulu (Agriculturist)
Communities Of Narasannapalle,
A Village In The Kadapa District Of
Andhra Pradesh.
A Very Important Part Of The Iyer And
Iyengar Culture Of Tamil Nadu, The
Madisaru Was Worn By Women,
Traditionally After Marriage. Today
However, This Saree Drape Is Sported On
Special Occasions And Festivities.

9. If Your Saree Has Heavy
Embroidered Front
Pallu Or Has Nice Work
On This Part, Wearing
Saree In Front Palluwill
Accentuate Your Look.
If You Want To Have
Extra Oomph, Add
Doris And Tasselson
The Pallu.
Dhoti Style Draped Saree.
The Best Saree For This
Style Is A Cotton Or A
Cotton-silk Blend Saree.
Retro, Wraparound Or
Mumtaz Style Saree. This
style is easy to flaunt as the
saree is draped tightly
around the lower body
many times. If you want to
highlight your figure, go for
this style.
