Advanced saree draping

Takes about 30 min

Some drapes are hard to get right on your own: a double pallu, a heavy embroidered dupatta that pulls at the shoulder, or a saree worn lehenga-style. The beautician plans the drape around the weight of the fabric, sets the pleats, then layers and pins the pallu or dupatta so it holds without dragging.

This takes about 30 minutes.

Keep the saree or dupatta pressed, wear your blouse, petticoat or lehenga skirt, and keep extra safety pins ready, since heavy fabric needs more of them. Tell her when you book if the drape is for a long event, so she can pin for comfort as well as looks.

  3. 3

    Layer and pin

    The double pallu or heavy dupatta is layered and pinned so it does not drag.

Questions about this service

Will a heavy dupatta stay in place all evening?

She pins it to spread the weight across the shoulder and waist, which helps it stay put. Keep enough safety pins ready.

What is a double pallu drape?

Both ends of the saree are shown, one over each shoulder or layered, which needs careful pleating and pinning.

Can she fix a blouse that does not fit?

No. Alterations and stitching are not part of draping.
