But possessing a trendy sari is not an end in itself. It has to be draped keeping in mind a lot of things, something which was evident in the recently held saree draping session by stylist Srishti Nandhani at the Sasya store owned by the Simaaya group.
The Simaaya group, known for its exquisite range of sarees, recently held a programme titled 'Evolution of the 9mt Yards' at its Sasya store on Wood Street, Kolkata.
Srishti Nandhani draped the saree on several women to explain the many nuances of draping in style.
The guests were also regaled by Dolly Jain, who is the Limca and India book record holder in 'draping Sarees in 125 syles' with anecdotes by her love for sarees.
She also offered some very handy tips for saree draping. Such as, use a large peg (like cloth pegs) to hold the pleats together on the shoulder; prevent safety pins from ripping your sarees by piercing the pin with a small bead or thermocol ball with glue and then using the pin to pin the saree; to prevent studs on foot wear from damaging your saree, use cling film on top of the studs and run a hair dryer to set it; replace your satin chord in satin petticoats with normal cotton ones to preserve them; prevent perspiration marks and damage to your blouse by using pads in the armpit area; keeping the pallu length long imparts a slimmer look; and a saree can be worn as a gown by adjusting the pallu ends and wearing a belt to flaunt your curves.
With popular jewelry designer and numerologist Nilanjana Chakraborty compering the event, it was a highly enjoyable evening.
Priyanka Agarwal of Sasya put the event in perspective and said, "The saree is the only garment that makes India look unique to the rest of the world, and transforms the wearer into a vision of beauty and elegance.”
