About Saree Styling & Draping
My Saree Style Belief
I really believe every woman can look stylish without spending a lot. After winning Mrs. INDIA Beauty with purpose 2022, I saw how much confidence matters. For me, happiness and confidence are like your own personal power - aur main aapko yahi dikhana chahti hoon (and I want to show you exactly this).
Saree Tricks for Tall & Slim Look
I hear this all the time: "Pushpa, kaise tall aur slim dikhein saree mein?" So here’s what works:
- Soft fabrics like georgette, chiffon, or soft cotton fall nicely and don’t add bulk
- Small prints, vertical stripes, and thin borders help give that elongated look
- Dark colours - black, maroon, bottle green - are magic for a slimming effect
- A fish-cut petticoat and matching blouse add to the streamlined feel
- If you’re petite, try draping just above the navel and keep the pallu long
Saree Draping Made Simple
Too much time spent on draping? My one-minute saree draping hack saves so much hassle - just pre-pleat and set your saree, then wear it like ready-made.
Winter mein bhi (even in winter), don’t pack away your sarees. Style a shawl like a second pallu or wear it royal-style pinned to the wrist.
Blouses & Accessories
I love stretchable blouses - they adjust with your size and are super comfy, especially in cotton. For work, festive, or Banarsi looks, they’re my top pick. I avoid heavy jewellery for a tall and slim look; sleek, long earrings and a nice tote bag do the job.
My Last Word
Style is for you. Do it apni tarah se (in your own way). Confidence beats any outfit, every time.
