5 Ways to Drape Party Wear Sarees
When it comes to party wear sarees, either you can buy a fancy saree and then wear it to suit the occasion or you can drape a saree in some different way to get the party wear look. Draping the saree differently can actually make a lot of difference, even if you drape the simplest of saree in an elaborate style, the end result will be worthy of applaud. There is of course the simple way of draping a saree but there are also some chic new ways of draping party wear sarees which add more to your look.
- Bollywood drape style
The bollywood drape style is a hot favorite. Everyone women intend to get the look of her favorite star. The bollywood drape style usually involves a bit of skin show, the saree is tied a little below the navel and the pallu is draped to not conceal the navel from showing. Bollywood drape style closely resembles nivi drape style but it is just a more glamorous version of the latter.
- Dhoti drape style
Drape a simple handloom, Khadi or georgette saree in dhoti style. For the dhoti style, the saree fabric is draped as a dhoti. You may or may not wear a slacks or leggings under it. The dhoti style drape is quite in vogue and you must have seen many bollywood actresses flaunting the same. While draping the dhoti style saree, you must take care of the fact that the border should show, also the pleats on the front and back should be secured neatly.
- Pant style saree
This style is perfect for the young working women. For the next party, wear the saree with pants i.e. instead of wearing a petticoat wear pants underneath and drape the saree in a manner that the pants do show. This style is extremely comfortable; you can wear this drape to any occasion, formal or semi formal. This is of course a rather unorthodox way of draping a saree but it is still very easy to carry.
- Regional Drapes
Instead of going with the usual drapes, look for regional drape style. Gujarati drape, maharashtrian drape, south Indian drape…these all are different from one another. You can easily pick a regional drape for your next party look. Bengali drape and maharashtrian drape happen to be one of my personal favorites.
- Double Drape
Most of the party wear sarees flaunt a beautifully designer border. To highlight the border, double drape the pallu. Once you are done wrapping the saree in the usual manner, again wrap it around the waist in a way that the border is visible. Next, wrap around the pallu in the normal way, from under the arm to the shoulder. The double drape is a fun way to drape a saree and is certainly the best drape to showcase the border.
