Instructions
Step 1
In order to sew a sari, you need to choose the right fabric for it. The main beauty of this garment lies in the smooth flow of the fabric and the drapery of the fabric around the body, so the fabric should be thin, soft, delicate and silky. Thin cotton can be used, but silk is best.
Step 2
After choosing the fabric, you need to decide on the length of the saree. The classic sizes of a sari are as follows: the width is about 1-1.25 m, and the length is from 5 to 8.5 m. The length of the cloth depends on the thickness of the fabric and on the method of putting on the sari. And the width depends on the border on the sari.
Step 3
There are fabrics with a ready-made border, but if the fabric is solid, then you will need to select and sew the border separately. It is better if it ideally matches the tone of the main color and is in harmony with it. If there are several options for the border, then the most beautiful one should be sewn onto the piece of canvas that will be on the shoulder. This will complement the saree.
Step 4
A sari is worn with a petticoat and a tight-fitting choli. A sari can be draped over the body in several ways. Depending on what you want to achieve, one or another option is chosen. With the help of a sari, you can emphasize the merits of your figure and hide flaws.
