Please Critique - Photos Of Me In Saree

Saree is nice..pleats bring it all together and line it.On the side make sure to pull and design to be shown.otherwise all good.

 

Looks fine to me.
At 1: stack the pleats precisely so they are all one on top of the other and tuck into waist. Pleat edge should be above belly button. Externally, after tucking, all the pleats should be visible as one pleat to viewer or mirror (rest should be aligned under top one in a single line.) Not fanned out like they currently are.
At point 2. Similarly stack the pleats or align them precisely further down at point 2 and put a safety pin to tightly pin them into place there - weave it in 2-3 times so it firmly holds all the stacked pleats neatly. Pallu will cover safety pin. Once you do this your pleats are secure and will not move.

Finally for the graceful feminine silhouette pull the free pallu from other side tightly, as tightly as possible, around your waist, back and to the front so it cups your butt and outlines your legs. Pull it tight and then take it over shoulder, drape in pleats and pin to left shoulder. That pin will maintain the silhouette for you. This is must for the typical silhouette. Even if you want open pallu first practice with pinned pallu till you get a hang and a feel for how to correctly hold the unpinned free pallu so you still get the typical silhouette for the rest of the sari. Open pallu looks simple but the woman’s hand is exerting the tension to maintain the look the whole time. There’s a trick to it. Not for beginners.

General note: sari is held together only by tucking pleating and few safety pins. It’s not a tailored material. So with time as you walk, move etc it will loosen. So at the time of tying tie and pin everything as tight as you can stand it. It WILL loosen. Sometimes you see people whose sari is literally falling apart. That’s because they tied it loosely to begin with.

 

No. So you should tuck thr pleats exactly at the centre of your naval . One corner of that please ( that corner which is towards your left hand side) should be exactly at the centre of the naval.

Nice saree. Let me share two pics with you from my recent cousin wedding

 

The blue saree was draped by the parlour lady with at least 10 pins n after draping she has ironed it with a hair straightener. Other two I have draped myself with just 2 safety pins
