Hi all, Please give me a "THUMBS UP" if you like this video and subscribe to my channel ♥ EXPAND FOR MORE INFO♥ Here my Diwali Outfit and makeup video. I had to see a number of videos on Youtube to learn how to drape a saree in a dhoti style. Here's how you too can drape a saree like a dhoti; you will need: The Perfect Sari: Choose a 5 meter long sari in a light drapey fabric like chiffon. A printed sari will camouflage the drape. Pick one in a solid color with a simple contrasting narrow border and no fall. This will enhance the drape and fold lines which are key to this style. The Right Innerwear: You will need a non traditional blouse and a pair of lycra tights Sturdy Safety Pins: Choose pins that are strong and sturdy enough to pierce the pleats without tearing the sari. You’ll needed to keep all those pleats secure in place. Sky High Heels: Pick a tall and slender pair to complement the dhoti. Wear you shoes before you start draping. 1. Drape the sari at the lower waist, leaving 1.5m to the non-pallu end. Overlap the two ends and pin at the centre. Remember to keep the longer (right) section over the left (1.5m excess). 2. Take the longer section leading to the pallu around your back from the left and bring to the front. Fold the pallu into pleats 2-3 inches wide. Use the plastic clothes clips to secure the pleats in place and toss the pallu over the shoulder. Maintain the line of the pleats and adjust where necessary. Secures the pallu at the shoulder of the blouse with a safety pin. . Follow the pallu to the lower waist, take hold of the pleats here and continue to drape around the hip. While keeping a close eye on the neatness of the pleats, bring the drape to the front and pin at the center to the tights. Make sure to smoothen the pleats before and after pinning – They must rest neatly around the hip and be prominently visible. Take the 1.5 meter that was initially left aside and pleat along the width to form beautiful cowls for the dhoti. Secure with a pin. 6. Take this end between your legs, tuck in at the back and pin. Don’t forget to manage the pleats neatly. 7. Pleat the last droopy section in the front, starting from the center outwards. Tuck in neatly at the centre waist. Readjust your pleats and pin. 8. Pin the front of the drape to the pleats on the hip to prevent the sari from opening while walking.
