How to wear saree as a dress for resort wear looks
We will show you two interesting ways of wearing saree for vacations with just draping tactics. Gather some safety pins for the look and a string or a belt to hold the drape at waist.
Wear leggings or tights for the draping process too,
● Saree drape from Georgette saree with cowl drape in front.
The video above shows the step by step process of wearing a saree dress in a front cowl drape look. Easy to do with a belt or casing and also it looks like a pleated gown dress. Includes pleats to be scattered around the waistline for a full covered skirt look.
The style also includes a neck drape, so a saree with border or lace is recommended. And a simple printed saree in stripes, geometry or floral design can be chosen for the look.
● Saree as a Short dress
While wearing a longer gown dress, also wearing a short or knee length saree dress is great for a flowy resort wear look. Most simple style with a waist belt to cinch waistline. Do make smaller pleats of saree and drape them in tube dress from bustline.
Both sides from a wrap from behind to front, take the pleats around both sides and pin centre pleats together. Add a belt under the bust line to hold it all in place. It creates a skater dress style look for vacay style or can be worn to parties too.
Saree as a Cord Set Skirt Top Draping Style for Resort wear
Again for a cord set look, wearing a single piece of fabric can be tricky, But we nailed the look of a skirt and bell draped sleeve top look with one saree. Used a satin saree, tights and safety pins.
See video style 2, for skirt and stop cord set indowestern saree draping look. We love how the style has made this a fancy wear for parties or vacay looks as a date night look.
Top and short skirt cord set saree draping outfit
For this look, a flowy printed saree, short tights and a tube inner works well. Start the middle part of saree, fold in half, and wrap from front to back size and back to sides. Use pins to secure. Your skirt is ready.
Now take the palla end, fold in two, pin it at an interval or half metre. And drape it on your shoulder like a sleeve through it. And then take the remaining saree fabric to the back side. And pin at back waist. This creates a front bodice support, pin the edges together in the centre like a v-neck and that’s done.
Wear a belt on waistline or empire line to finish the look of skirt and blouse top look with saree. Creating a cod set skirt and top with old saree no cutting and stitching styles are considered more stylish and can be worn for versatile looks as well.
