Wrong Draping

There are so many things that can go wrong if you don’t perfect the drape. While different occasions call for different draping styles, make sure that you opt for the style that best suits you while not taking away from the essence of the silhouette.

Going with the Wrong Petticoat

Now you may think that the petticoat is not even going to be visible yet this is the one factor where many go wrong when it comes to wearing a saree. Always, always go with a petticoat that best matches your bridal saree otherwise your saree won’t look as graceful as it should!

Neglecting the Pallu Pleats

There are very few elements that make a saree graceful and one of them is the pallu pleats. Your ultimate goal should be to get uniform pleats so that it doesn’t affect the overall symmetry and elegance of the drape.

Wrong Blouse Neckline

Yes, there is such a thing as a wrong blouse neckline. While your saree will mostly be the center of attraction the blouse is what will help you turn heads in your direction.

Incorrect Fabric Choice

Ah, the importance of choosing the right fabric!

If you haven’t donned a lot of sarees, avoid going with heavy fabrics that are difficult to manage. A lighter fabric like georgette or chiffon is more forgiving and easy to handle.

Wrong Footwear

Lastly, choosing the wrong footwear is the worst mistake you can make when wearing a saree. How many times have you personally seen women trip over their gorgeous sarees only because they chose the wrong footwear!?

Go with something super comfortable and easy to maintain!
