Did you even know that a saree must be chosen according to the body type? The type of saree, its fabric, colour and even print can make you look thinner or curvier within seconds. Hence, it is of utmost importance to choose the right kind of saree according to your body type. You need to try out various fabrics, colours and draping styles to find the right one. Choose darker colours if you want to look less bulky.
