Step 1
At least part of the secret of the sari are the "underneath"
garments - a waist -to- floor length petticoat, tied tightly at the waist
by a drawstring. (No elastic, please!) And a tight fitting blouse that
ends just below the bust - short sleeved or sleeveless, with a variety of
necklines. |

Step 2
Starting at the navel, tuck the plain end of the sari into the
petticoat for one complete turn from right to left. Make sure that the
lower end of the sari touches the floor.

 |
|
|
|
Steps 3 and 4
Beginning
from the tucked-in end start making pleats in the sari, about 5 inches
deep. |
 |
|
|
|
Step 5
Tuck the
pleats into the waist slightly to the left of the navel, and make sure
that they are turned towards the left.

Step 6
After step one you take the saree and tuck the plain end of the sari into the petticoat for one complete
turn from right to left. Make sure that the lower end of the sari touches
the floor. |
 |
|
|
|
Step 7
The end portion thus draped is the pallu, and can be
prevented from slipping off by fixing it at the shoulder to the blouse
with a small safety pin. |
