Make a Saree Dress from Old Saree – NO Cutting or Stitching

How to wear saree as a dress for resort wear looks

We shall show you two interesting ways of wearing saree on vacations with just draping tactics. Get some safety pins for the look and a string or a belt to hold the drape at the waist.

Wear leggings or tights for the draping process too

 Saree drape from Georgette saree with cowl drape in the front.

A stylish way of draping this saree is done by draping the cowl at the front of the georgette saree. Start this off with all the saree basics: a fitted blouse and a petticoat. Firstly, tuck the plain end of the saree into the petticoat at your waist on the right-hand side, and then ensure that the saree meets the floor. Wrap once around the waist, tucking in. Now pleat at the center (about 5-6 inches wide) and tuck in slightly towards the left of your navel. Pleating gives the saree a traditional base. After pleating, again wrap this remaining fabric around your waist.

Now, to make the cowl drape, take the pallu and bring it across your front, leaving some fabric loose to create a soft, gentle hanging curve or, as the term goes, “cowl” in the front. Bring the pallu over the left shoulder, pinning it in place to hold it there. You may also adjust your cowl by pulling or letting go of the fabric as you want. Such a style is appropriate on a georgette base as it drapes well and flows elegantly. To execute perfection to the look, smoothen out pleats and the cowl as well by adding pins for support in various places. You may wear a belt around the waist for definition or jewellries on the neckline for glamour.

 Saree as a Short dress

A short or knee-length saree dress – whether it is an easy style to do with a waist belt to cinch a waist line – wearing this gown dress longer is great for a flowy resort wear look. Do make some smaller pleats of saree and drape them into a tube dress from the bust line.

Fold both sides from the back towards the front, taking in pleats on both sides and pin centre pleats together. Put in a belt under your bust line just keeps it all together. It kind of gives you that skater dress style look for vacay styles or can even be worn in parties.

This is so difficult to drape one single piece of fabric, again for a cord set look. But we nailed this skirt and bell draped sleeve top look with one saree. We used satin saree, tights, and safety pins.

For this skirt and stop cord set indowestern saree draping look, we love how this style has turned this into a fancy wear for parties or vacay looks as a date night look.

Top and short skirt cord set saree draping outfit

Use the flowy printed saree with short tights and tube inner for this look. Begin by folding the middle part of the saree in half and wraping it from front to back size and then rear to the sides, and pin them in place. All set and done-your skirt’s ready.

Now take the palla end fold it in two, pin it at an interval or half meter. And drape it on your shoulder like a sleeve through it. Now take the remaining saree fabric to the backside. And pin at the waist to the back. This forms a front bodice support, pin up both the edges in the center like a V-neck and this is complete.

It can be completed with a belt worn at the waistline or empire line for completing the look of skirt and blouse top with saree. Creating a cod set skirt and top with old saree without cutting and stitching styles are considered more stylish and can be worn for versatile looks as well.
