februari 26, 2011
Find me on Facebook: Nisha Davdra, Make Up, Hair & Henna Saree from Rangoli, Wembley, UK, Blouse stitching was also done there, bought by me for my Sister’s Wedding. Thank you for giving me 20 minutes of your life : ) Step by Step,in full detail on how to wear drape a gujerati style saree as my mum taught me. It is a really long video, on editing I felt everything I said was important… Please fast forward if this bores. I have tried to address common issues like saree slipping down, pinning and how to pleat step by step. Hope this helps. Apologies for the flappy fleshy bits…I have had two babies haha…more styles coming soon

Wow there is so much fabric in the saree. Do you get very hot with the layers on? It is so beautiful, the colours and beading, I love the blouse.!!!

Beautiful saree. How about a video on draping the sari the typical way

That was really very well explained Nisha. I’m glad you pointed out that the correct way of draping saree in the Gujarati style, is to have the pleats facing the palloo, i.e. to one’s right.

Thank you so much Nisha for doing my request! I’m guju too (Kem Cho? lol)..so this really was great to see you drape the sari this way. I was confused about a few things..Is there a reason to start the sari tucked in so far to one side? I was taught to start tucking at the bellybutton..but your way looks better. How far to one side do you start? Also when you held the sari out to one side, is that how many pleats you make? Thanks again!! And if you can show other ways to drape would be great!

Btw, I loved your cat! So cute! Can you show him in one of your videos? Seemed like he wanted to be on camera..lol.

@DesiMakeupGrl aww, my cat has made a couple of appearances and I have a video on him on his own too. You’ll find it from my channel. I think I called it Moggie something or the other.
I think you are overthinking the saree. I’ve never seen it put on from the middle. A Sareewala I know puts it on from the back so it doesn’t matter where you start. I found I need to hold a little more so do an arm and a half’s worth then start pleating. I will try to show others too. ; )

@ABridalArtist thats right. People tell me i’m doing it wrong and I feel like screaming ”I’m a gujerati! I should know!” but really anyway works right lol

@Kaprikornkutie I will do that as some point soon ; )
februari 25th, 2011 at 19:10
@mrsefmac Thats, no its quite cooling actually and the back is more or less open. Sometimes you can get a little too cold lol. The blouse is stunning. I have others which are backless and halter necks which are equally lovely.

@ABC35530 Yes, Porbander to be precise.

@shanazlol yes ; )

If you wear the saree in usual way not the gujarati one, you will be putting the botton pleats the opposite way inside. The top pleats go back on your left shoulder so the bottom pleats also go the left side. Also I like the fact that you can show the saree detailing in this style but the bottom part looks really big even though I am a slim person. I love this style for north indian type sarees. But for silk and traditional wearing love the normal saree style. Do that one next time

@DesiMakeupGrl If you tuck in from belly button, on to the right you pettycoat will see through thin sarees. I have seen many people wearing gujarathi sarees do that. I do the way nisha showed here.

@satiffi yes if you wear the saree the other ways ie nivi style or ulta style or dakshini style then the pleats should go to the left side where the pallu is. Gujerati style can make you look bigger depending on the material, and the way my embroidery panels are on this particular saree makes the pleat fall a little out on the bottom so you are right there. it is big in the video.
