Sari Draping Guides

• Contemporary Style

  

  
  
  The Contemporary Style is one of the most common styles for draping a sari. It is worn over your left shoulder. The pallu can either be pinned neatly in place or allowed to drape open along your left arm.

• Gujarati Style

  

  
  
  The Gujarati Style of wearing a sari shows off your full pallu. This style is wonderful for traditional and special occasions.

• Mermaid Style

  

  
  
  The Mermaid Style is a very sexy way to wrap a sari. It will accentuate your body shape and all of your curves. Just be sure you plan on walking with small steps-- this style looks fabulous but may limit your range of motion (similar to a mermaid!).

• Gujarati Shawl Style

  

  
  
  The Gujarati Shawl Style is a simple way to create a completely different & trendy look for parties. It shows off decorative blouses and your torso. A slightly conservative variation to the style would be to wrap the sari around your neck and then drape across your chest securing it with a safety pin.

• Forward (Open) Mermaid Style

  

  
  
  The Forward (Open) Mermaid Style is a very contemporary and sexy style can be worn in just minutes! It shows off decorative blouses and your torso.
