Hope you have seen the Different ways of Draping sarees post. So as promised I will be giving the detailed and step by step demonstration of each method in individual posts. Here comes the second method - Saree draping in Gujarati style.
Wearing a Saree in Gujarati style
Step 1: Starting at the navel, tuck the plain end of the saree into the petticoat keeping the entire saree on the left and continue tucking till you take a complete turn. Adjust the lower end of the saree to the height required. Ideally footwear is worn prior to draping the saree so that you drape the saree to the right length. (If this point is not clear check here)
Step 2: Now start pleating the saree starting from the center of your waist by taking (around 6-7), four inches pleats. Hold all the pleats together firmly. Make sure that all the pleats are of same length. Tuck them at the centre of the waist to your right side.
Step 3: Now take the remaining saree to the left around back and up over your right shoulder keeping desired length for the pallu. Fold the pallu into pleats and tuck the left bottom edge of the pallu inside the petticoat. Then secure the pleats with pin.
