HOW TO WEAR & STYLE
What is a Saree?
A saree is a traditional Indian garment for women, consisting of a long piece of fabric, typically around six to nine yards, that is wrapped around the body in various styles. It is usually paired with a blouse and a petticoat.
Types of Sarees
- Traditional Sarees: These include sarees like Kanjeevaram, Banarasi, and Bandhani, which are often worn for festivals and weddings.
- Party Sarees: These are more glamorous, often embellished with sequins, beads, and other decorations. A black party saree is a timeless choice.
- Ready to Wear Sarees: These are pre-stitched and easy to drape, perfect for beginners.

What’s Keeping You from Effortless Elegance with a Pre-Draped Saree?
Is it appropriate to wear a pre-draped saree to a wedding?
Pre-draped sarees offer a modern twist on traditional attire, and they are generally acceptable for weddings, especially if they have an elegant and festive design. However, some weddings may be more traditional, so it’s good to check if a pre-draped style aligns with the event’s dress expectations.
What colors should I avoid wearing to be respectful?
Traditionally, red is often reserved for the bride, so it’s best to avoid this color. Similarly, white and black are generally avoided, as white is associated with mourning, and black is considered inauspicious in some Indian cultures. Instead, opt for vibrant colors like royal blue, emerald green, or pastels, which are widely acceptable and festive.
What is the style and fit of the pre-draped saree?
Pre-draped sarees come in various draping styles and fits, from pleated and pallu-style to more gown-like designs. Knowing the exact style helps ensure it complements your body type and occasion, as well as the ease of wearing and movement.
What fabric would feel most comfortable?
Pre-draped sarees are made in fabrics like silk, georgette, crepe, and chiffon. Lightweight fabrics like chiffon or georgette offer comfort and ease of movement, while silk gives a more formal look. Fabric choice impacts both appearance and comfort, especially for beginners.
Is a blouse included, and is it customizable?
Many sarees come with a matching blouse piece, but it might not always be stitched or tailored. Confirm if it’s ready-to-wear or requires customization to ensure it fits well. Also, check if a petticoat (underskirt) is included.
How do I care for and maintain this saree
Different fabrics require specific care. Some sarees might be machine washable, while others, like silk, need dry cleaning. Understanding maintenance helps you keep the saree in good condition for future wear.
Does the pre draped saree come in a size or is it adjustable?
Unlike traditional sarees, pre-draped sarees come in specific sizes or adjustable designs. It’s essential to check measurements for bust, waist, and hip to ensure a good fit. Some may have zippers or stretch elements, so verify sizing options and flexibility.
Is the pre draped saree easy to wear and maintain?
A pre-draped saree should offer convenience, so check if it has a user-friendly design, like zippers, hooks, or stretchable parts. Additionally, some fabrics require specific care (e.g., dry cleaning for silk), so consider maintenance needs to keep it looking fresh and ready to wear.
