A saree, also sometimes spelled sari, is a beautiful and iconic women's garment from the Indian subcontinent. It's a long piece of unstitched fabric, typically ranging from 4.5 to 8.5 meters (around 5 to 9 yards) in length and 60 to 120 centimeters (24 to 47 inches) in width.

To wear a saree, you'll need three essentials:

The Saree: A stunning, long piece of fabric (4.5-8.5 meters) that comes in vibrant colors and designs.

A Blouse (Choli): A fitted top that complements the saree, covering the midriff.

A Petticoat : An underskirt for tucking in the saree. It adds comfort and facilitates smooth draping.

Safety pins, jewelry, and stylish shoes are optional extras to complete your look!

Sarees are a celebration of the South Asian textiles, reflecting the region's rich textile heritage. They come in a wide variety of fabrics, each offering unique qualities:

Silk sarees : The epitome of luxury, silk sarees drape beautifully and creates a rich and heritage inspired look. Popular varieties include Kanchipuram sarees and Banarasi sarees, known for their intricate weaving techniques and opulent embellishments.

Georgette Saree & Chiffon Saree : Known for their sheer and flowy nature, georgette and chiffon sarees add a touch of elegance and grace. Perfect for special occasions and evening wear.

Organza Sarees : Crafted from a fine, lightweight fabric known for its sheerness and stiffness, an organza saree offers a unique draping experience and a flowy visual effect.

Cotton Sarees : A popular choice for everyday wear due to its breathability and comfort. Cotton sarees are perfect for warmer climates and come in a vast array of colors and prints.

Blended Fabrics: Combining the best of two worlds, blended fabrics like cotton-silk or silk-georgette offer a balance of comfort, drape, and aesthetics.

Here's a simpler way to say how to wear a saree:

Secure the base: Put on your shoes to figure out the exact length of the saree and tie the petticoat around your waist tightly.
Wrap the saree: Take one end of the saree and tuck it into the petticoat at your navel. Wrap it around you once.
Create the pallu: Make neat pleats in the other end of the saree and drape it over your left shoulder.
Pleat the front: Bring the remaining fabric in front, make pleats of similar size, and tuck them securely into your waistband.
Now you're all set to go!
