Best options for Ready Made Sarees

Hello Usha,

I have a few readymade saees myself. And they are very conveniant to wear. There is no fear of pleats opening up!!! Also, in trousseaus these days, young brides are opting for readymade sarees.

It is better to get the vertical pleats stitched as making these pleats takes up time. I don't think you should be stitching it with the petticoat. Different sarees would need different material petticoats. for eg...a net saree would do with a satin petticoat. So it is always better to wear a petticoat and then the saree on top.

As for the pallu, the best option would be just leave it without the pleats. This way, you always have a choice...either to wear the saree with a free-flowing pallu(so that the entire pallu design is seen) or to make pleats and then pin it up.

Silk gives a very good fall to the saree. But these days, other than silk, lots of different fabrics are in. If you have a good and experianced tailor....he might be able to assist you as well.

You can run a google search on images for readymade sarees. Am sure you will get an idea of what you are looking for.

Good day!!!

 

Wowwwwwwwwww.... I never know there is such thing called 'Readymade Saree'. That too they sell the ones that stitched with peticoat??? :goodidea:

Please please please girls, could someone give me some images of this type of saree? I searched in google, but couldnt find..

So this kind of sarees comes for Cotton sarees too? I am dying to drape a pure cotton saree with proper fleets. But never could do. It always stand like an umbrella around me:drowning. If there is a readymade one for cotton sarees I will fly to get it..

Eagerly waiting for your reply...

Hi Tulips,

These readymade sarees have been the "in" thing from a long time now. Glad that our designers are trying to keep the saree tradition alive.

One would never guess that your saree is readymade and that you have just "put it on".

With the stitched or ready made saree (the type that the pleats do not need to get tucked into the petticoat) you have to be very careful to get the length measurement on the form exactly right (ie wearing the shoes you plan to wear with the saree), otherwise, it can be too long or too short. The few I have, the saree top border was cut off to reduce the bulk (which means that I cannot salvage the saree successfully).

 

Hi rkgurbani, Thank you very much for the link... cissyboo, I didnt know that the fleets wont go inside the petticoat. Tthats good info...

Can you tell me that whether should I give the hip size to get the readymade saree? Because the fleets might go in awkward direction, as I have big hip.

Also, in the link you sent, they show only shiffon sarees... Will these ones available for cotton sarees too??

Finally are they available in shops? My mom is in Coimbatore. Do anybody know where she can buy these pre-stitched sarees in coimbatore??

Dear US123, my sincere apologies for digressing the thread.. Hope you wouldn't mind...

Hello Tulips,

If you are getting it stitched from your tailor then, lucky you!!! You can give him specifications and get it stitched the way you would want it.

As for the measurements, in the readymade version, you get a free size with adjustable hooks/string also. If you get it stitched to your exact measurement, it will be right to wear it only for the moment (in case of weight fluctuation!!!!;-))

These sarees are available in different fabrics. If your Mom is in Coimbatore, she will surely find the ones in silk and cotton as well. She may have to scout around a bit though.

But in Northern states, the variety and designs are much more. You will also be surprised to know that last year during my cousin's wedding, she wore a readysaree. no one guessed it was a ready to wear....Only later on after the function, I saw that the whole thing was actually stitched like a lehenga with fleets in front and the dupatta was worn like a saree pallu. But it was a beauty...

 

Thanks a lot for the detailed response rkgurbani. I will ask my mom to shop around ..
