How to Wear a Ready-to-Wear Saree: Step by Step
A ready-to-wear saree from Nidhi Jain Kumar is built to go on in a few minutes. You don't need to know how to pleat or tuck a six-yard drape. This guide walks through wearing one, using her Elegant Ready-to-Wear Designer Saree (₹7,800) as the example.
What comes in the box
The saree is georgette, a light fabric that falls softly and doesn't feel heavy over an evening. It comes with a ready-made blouse, so there is no separate tailoring step before you can wear it. Her ready-to-wear sarees come in fixed sizes.
How to wear it, step by step
- Unpack the saree carefully and lay it flat so you can see which part goes at the waist and which part is the pallu.
- Put the blouse on first.
- Wrap the saree around your waist and fasten it so it sits at the height you like. Wear the heels you'll have on that day while you do this, so the length is right.
- Take the pallu over your shoulder and let it fall at the back.
- Pin the pallu to the blouse at the shoulder if you'll be dancing or moving a lot. A second pin at the waist keeps everything in place.
- Check in a mirror and adjust the fall of the pleats and the pallu before you step out.
If you've never draped a saree before, this is the easiest way to start. Most of the work that usually takes practice is already done for you.
Styling it differently
Nidhi also makes ready-to-wear sarees paired with corsets instead of a regular blouse, for a more structured, contemporary look. If you want the saree for a wedding reception or a cocktail evening, ask her about the corset options when you order.
Caring for a georgette saree
Dry clean it. Machine washing can pull the georgette and spoil the way the saree falls. Store it folded in a cotton cloth bag, away from direct sunlight.
Ordering
The saree is sold online on Nidhi Jain Kumar's store. Most pieces are made to order and ship in about two weeks, across India and worldwide. Shipping is calculated at checkout, and ready-size pieces like this saree come with easy returns.
