A traditional dress with countless variations in fabric, design, weaves and embroidery. A sari ensemble consists of the sari, a blouse and a petticoat. The sari has these elements: the five to six yards of unstitched fabric in length with a top and bottom border and left and right ends. The right end of the sari is highly decorative as it drapes over the shoulder and is called the pallav. The blouse too has many design variations and is always fitted close to the body and ends a few inches above the navel. It s tailored to each body fit. There are some ready lyra tops now available though not popular in India. The variations are seen in neck, arm length and front and back opening. The petticoat is a slightly gathered skirt with a waistband that allows a cord to run through it. When worn, the cord is tightly knotted to make the sari firmly tucked into it. Options of elastic and buttons do not work. The petticoat is worn an inch below the navel. Once a sari is bought, you must acquire a matching safety strip of cloth called the 'fall' that is stitched to the inner side of the bottom border starting from the left end. This prevents the lower ends of the sari from getting worn out by contact with different surfaces. It also gives the sari additional weight that helps the sari to fall well. Now you are ready to drape the sari. Wear your footwear before wearing the sari, specially if it is heeled. Take the left end of the sari length and tuck in the top border into the petticoat. Take the sari around the body once, tucking in the top end and now create 5-6 folds using the stretched hand. Tuck in the top end under the navel to give central pleats. You can tie these with a safety pin for additional security. The last stretch of the sari is taken around the body once and draped over the shoulder.The pallav variations are many. You can pleat and pin at the shoulder for neat and efficient look. You can pin the top border only and allow the rest of the pallav to flow on the arm. You can keep the pallav unpinned and drape it across both shoulders.Initially take small steps as you move. With confidence you can take longer strides. Initially the pinned up pallav will allow you to have both hands free. Later you can try the free flowing pallav which is very pleasurable.The finale is wearing the traditional bindi and jewellery for the complete ethnic look. More»
