Mastering the skill of elegant dressing is a ability that requires patience, trial by fire and a great deal of confidence. While it can appear intimidating at first, with a clear guide, you can master the art of draping a lehenga in no time.

The first step in mastering the skill of traditional garment styling is to choose the right fabric. The best fabrics for traditional garments are those that are breathable and smooth to the touch. Silks and faux silk are all great choices, as they allow for ease of movement and comfort.

Before you begin draping your lehenga, you will need to take a few measurements. This includes measuring around your hips and just below your neckline. This will give you an idea of the width and length of the lehenga you will need. The standard garment length is around 5.5 meters, but this can vary depending on your personal style and the style of the saree.

To begin draping, start by standing in front of a plume and placing the sarong on your shoulder with one end hanging down at the back. Hold the saree in one hand, with the end of the sarong in your hand facing down, and the top of the lehenga draped over your shoulder. Take the end of the saree and wrap it around your waist, forming a knot at the back.

The next step is to take the remaining length of the lehenga and drapes it around your hips, forming a oval shape. This is where most people make mistakes, as the saree can appear lopsided or uneven. To fix this, take the end of the lehenga and tuck it into the front of the sarong, just below the knot you formed earlier. This will help create a smooth, even circle.

To secure the lehenga, take a few pleats at the back and position them evenly. You can then tuck the loose end of the saree into the folds, securing it in place.

To finish off the saree, take any excess fabric and push it under the lehenga, creating a neat edge. This is also where you can add any embellishments, such as necklaces or a single strand of ornamentation.

The final touch is to add a nice Readymade blouse with heavy embroidery and a pair of shoes, which will complete your saree look.

One of the most common mistakes people make when draping a sarong is not using the right amount of fabric. The best way to avoid this is to make sure you have the correct calculations and then adjust as needed.

Another common mistake is not taking the time to steam wrinkles and creases in the sarong. This can make the lehenga look old and worn, rather than regal. To avoid this, make sure to iron the sarong as you go, and consider ironing it before you begin draping.

Mastering the art of lehenga draping takes time and patience, but with patience, you can master the look. By following these steps and tips, you can create a elegant sarong that will turn eyes at any event. Whether you are draping a designer saree or a personalized garment, with these steps, you can create a look that is truly unique.
