Tips on Saree Lehenga Draping

Ignorance Isn't Bliss in Draping a Saree Lehenga

A fabric that comes as a combination of the traditional saree and a glamorous lehenga, the Lehenga Saree weaves a visual appeal of a Saree with an intricately designed drape over the torso and a lower pre-pleated skirt that’s styled as a Lehenga.

Unlike the saree, you can ease into the Lehenga Saree with just a slip and a zip, making it a trending favourite. When opting to go in for a Lehenga Saree, it’s not-so balanced make needs to be kept in mind, as it may or may not fit well with your body structure. For instance, for a pear-shaped bottom half of the body, a flared ensemble may attract attention adversely, while for a picture-perfect figure, a mermaid styled Lehenga Saree will be a perfect match to highlight the curves.

In a Lehenga Saree, the drape’s usually pleated, highlighting the blouse thereby. The complete blouse design both at the front and back should give a unique look to the ensemble. The blouse sleeves also require careful consideration, with elbow length the sleeves end up flattering and looking supremely stylish.

Draping the Saree the Lehenga Way!

The Lehenga Saree is designed in a way different from the saree, in a way that the bottom half is creatively enriching with embroidery or elaborate flares, with a minimal print or pattern display left for the upper half of the body and the drape to ensure a balanced presentation. The Lehenga Saree is made so, that the drape is at the right height and keeps it from looking shabby. When getting into the Lehenga Saree, it is important to ensure you wear it at the right level, not too high or low. If you wear it too high, it will look funny, and wearing it too low would look indecent, not to forget the fear of it slipping down further would keep you on your toes literally!

Accessorizing

Any outfit looks appealing with the right kind of styling and accessorizing. Going overboard on either account can go against the visual appeal of the entire ensemble. One of the best things you can do is to wear or carry complementing accessories with your Lehenga Saree, matching it with the embellishments on your outfit. For instance, if the Lehenga Saree is designed plain, then a heavy jewellery item would be appreciated, like a choker, danglers or a forehead accessory. For a heavy Lehenga Saree, minimal jewellery is recommended.

For a party event, a head chain with a sleek chain necklace would look good. For a casual do, earrings are a must, complemented with a pair of white gold bangles and/or a lovely ring. An embellished or embroidered dupatta to match the Lehenga Saree, in contrast, would look interesting and you can pair it with platform heels or wedges.

It’s established now just how popular the Lehenga Saree is these days, which has become even trendier with some smart draping techniques to don a new look. Here are some different ways of using the Lehenga Saree to drape one distinct from the other.

  • Style I This style is immensely popular among the stars and celebrities. It is one of the best half-saree draping styles.
  • Style II – This style is all about wearing the saree as a lehenga by wearing the saree on the underskirt with the basic tuck on the right-hand side to wrap around once. The next step is to start making small pleats of 2” from the left-hand side, beginning from the right side and tucking it in the waist. Proceed further with the pleating in the length direction, tucking the pleats one by one, till only the drape is left, tucking it inwards at the right side. This completes the entire saree and makes it look like a lehenga saree. You’d also choose to pair it with a dupatta to give it a lehenga choli vibe.
  • Style III – Drape the saree from left to right in a single wrap and pause at the right side, then take the saree to make small pleats, just like in style II, however don’t make pleats at the back, just stop them at the left side from where the drape border begins. Now taking the drape from back to the front, place it over your right shoulder in an open style or pleat it up and place over the right shoulder at the front.
  • Style IV – This style resembles a lehenga and dupatta worn like a saree, usually known to have been worn as a lehenga choli ensemble. But this time, it will work with a saree. Following similar steps to pleating as from above styles, stop the pleats at the left side and take about a foot of the drape, folder it diagonally and tucking it on the waist at the front covering the pleated tucks. Then, drape the remaining saree that is the drape from back to front, making the shoulder pleats. Drape the front bodice to the left shoulder, securing it with a safety pin from inside the blouse. Here’s a video explaining style 2,3, 4.
  • Style V - For this style, you’d require a lehenga, blouse and a saree to contrast the half saree look. Begin by wearing the lehenga and start pleating from the drape section first, completing it on the left shoulder. Taking the pleats from left to right across the front bodice, tuck the inner border of the drape roughly on the waist at the right side. Now taking the other end of the saree, bring it to the front from the left side, making pleats on the wide side, tuck them in at the midriff, pulling out the same edge, drape it from centre to the left side neatly. This will bring an inverted V shape to the front of the lehenga with your drape, now from the back, loop the saree, and with the edges on the left, start pleating, spreading them 1-by-1 style at the back and tucked at the waist. You can complete the look by wearing a waistband over it.
  • Style VI – Take a lehenga and dupatta in the same colour in the same or different fabrics like a georgette or net dupatta with a satin lehenga. Draping the dupatta end at the corner end of the midriff, tuck the pleats securing them with a safety pin. Taking the other end, bring the drape around from the left to the front side to the right. Drape the edge of the dupatta’s top border around your waist neatly till the midriff securing it, then pick the drape end of the open dupatta and make small pleats, from the left shoulder and securing them in a pile at the waist together. This is how you don a half saree with a dupatta in a distinct way!


  • Style VII – Using a silk saree or a lightweight saree, wear it over a lehenga and start draping the first saree of the 2 sarees you’d be using for this style. Drape the saree normally till the lower pleats of the drape and then pause the pleating at the waist. With the pallu, pleat up and drape them over your right shoulder from back to front like a Gujarati drape and secure them on the shoulder. Taking the second saree, pleat up from the inner end, with the pleats facing right, and the saree coming out on the top of the pleats from the right side. Tuck it all in at the midriff with a safety pin. Now taking the drape from right to left, make the pallu pleats, drape them on the left hand, such that they are on your left arm, securing them at intervals to keep them piled together, tucking the loose saree (if any) at the back neatly at the waist level.
