    HELP : Please give more details for how to wear madisar..the Tamil Iyer Saree

    Hi Pushkala mam I read your 10 steps, although so many people seem to understand, I am just not able to go by your words - I wore this saree on my wedding 2.5 years ago.. I need to wear it tomorrow - so maybe due to time gap or so.. I really need more detailed description - ex. first step says do pleats length wise ( does it mean you pleat along the length ? or across the length ? (the second being similar to usual saree) ) Similarly you say tie the knot, how can i tie knot if I have pleats at the end ?? obviously, it means I am not understading something logical/common sense .. but no other way except IL to learn.. so maybe can you provide some more descriptive info, or pictures (maybe you can show it on a small child ? I saw there is a link smwr on web lke that, but that saree doesmt give iyer style..)
    Also, when you say bring it around - slow people like me have no idea if it should be from back to front via right hand side or left hand side..?
    Please dont mistake me maam, I know you have done a great job by putting these steps in first place.. however, some of us need extra coaching :( so, can anyone please give more detailed description
    So many ladies here seem to have benefited by Pushkal mam's steps.. would be great if someone can volunteer to extend the description and post pictures ..

    regards
    savitha

    Wonderful instructions and Very informative Video...

    I have just another tip to add... when first keeping the pleats at the back, keep your feet wide and tuck a bit of the saree under your right heel when you bring it around. Don't leave this until you are readyto bring around the pallu. This keeps the madisar crom becoming too tight around your legs that you have to walk like a geisha :)

    Watch the video again to see Patti mention it
