Choosing the right fabric is also very important. Georgette and linen should be your pick as you can easily wrap them around. Since they are lighter fabric, they won’t create an unsightly mass of fabric around your navel either. Lighter fabric is easy to tuck in as well.
Avoid bulky platform heels and go for slim heels to give your body a better silhouette and structure.
Don’t over accessorise. This can make you look smaller and broader. A tall necklace can give the perception of the elongated neck, adding to your length.

So, have patience while you wrap those yards around your waist. Once you have mastered it, pure tussar silk sarees would become a vital irreplaceable cog in your wardrobe machinery!
Besides, there is no substitute for fitted underclothes. Anything less than perfect is a deal breaker. Whether you are opting for a designer blouse or getting one stitched from your local tailor, it should be made just for you. No peeping outs, no safety pins issues and no sliding off the shoulders.
Similarly, petticoats should be in accordance with your length and skin-fit. If you have trouble finding one and you are wearing saree for the first time, wrap it around your trusted skin-fit jeans. Not only it will help you to gain command back on movement, but also help you to get the perfect silhouette you have been wanting to!
