HOW TO WEAR A CHANDERI SAREE
What You'll Need:
- A Chanderi Saree
- Matching blouse
- Petticoat (underskirt)
- Safety pins
- Bobby pins
- Well-fitting bra
- High heels (optional)

Step 1: Choose Your Saree Style:
- Decide how you want to drape your saree: traditional style, Gujarati/Bengali style, or Lehenga style.

Step 2: Prepare Your Base:
- Wear the blouse and petticoat. Make sure the petticoat is tied securely around your waist and reaches your ankles.

Step 3: Begin Tucking:
- Take the loose end of the saree and tuck it into the petticoat at your right hip, not too tight.

Step 4: Create Pleats:
- Hold the saree near your navel and make 5-7 pleats, making sure they are the same width and facing left.

Step 5: Tuck the Pleats:
- Tuck the pleats into the petticoat, slightly to the left of your navel. Keep them straight.

Step 6: Make the Pallu:
- Drape the remaining fabric over your left shoulder and secure it with a safety pin.

Step 7: Adjust and Neatening:
- Check that the saree isn't too tight or loose around your waist.
- Ensure pleats are neat and pallu drapes nicely.
- Use bobby pins to secure pleats and pallu if needed.

Step 8: Finishing Touches:
- Add matching jewelry, like earrings, bangles, and a necklace.
- Style your hair to match the saree and use hairpins if desired.
- Optionally, wear high heels for an elegant look.

Tips:
- Practice makes perfect.
- You can use pre-stitched pleat sarees for convenience.
- Safety pins are helpful.
- Ask for help if needed.

Wearing a saree can be graceful and comfortable with these steps.
