Want to perfect sari draping

Ya, I wear a sari sometimes, can drape it but need to perfect it to look flawless…
How to learn to wear a sari
It made me
Bollywood-tastic! 
"I love wearing a sari, it feels so glamorous."
How I did it: A friend bought me a beautiful, light sari and when I found out that a party had a Bollywood theme I couldn't wait to wear it!
I borrowed a sari petticoat (basically a cotton drawstring skirt) from my sister. I bought a long, light coloured top to wear under the sari, as I didn't want to show too much skin. I looked up on wiki-how how to actually tie the sari, and got my husband to look at the instruction to - so he could help.
It was a bit awkward to wear, but it looked so beautiful and felt so dramatic and glamorous that it was all worth it!
Lessons & tips: There are lots of ways to tie a sari, but here's the method I used:
Wrap the sari fabric around your body once. Fold the fabric into pleats of about 15cm each. Fold them over the waistband of your petticoat, tucking them in. (You can secure them with a safety pin first.) Drape the rest of the fabric over your shoulder and you're done!
Photo below that I took myself isn't a very good quality shot, but boy I had fun wearing that sari!

I’ve always imagined being wrapped in the folds of a sari (and walking at the same time!) as being the height of gracefulness.

School and college functions were the occasions to wear saris, which we girls always looked forward to, ‘cos it gave us an excuse to dress up and feel all grown up. :D
Having studied in Gujarat, also learned the Gujarati way of draping the ‘pallu’.
Learning to walk wearing a sari, is something else altogether…

Yesterday I had baby-free time to try the sari and it went very well! I love it and I’m planning on wearing it all day Saturday.
It even worked well with breastfeeding.
