#Saree School The #Bengali Saree is quite unique and elegant. This saree drape is easier than the #Nivi saree draping style with just two wide front pleats. The #Pallu is wrapped around twice and traditionally the end is weighed down by a large key. Below Steps indicate how to drape a Bengali Saree: 1) As usual start tucking in the non-pallu end of the saree from right to left. Wrap it around your lower body once and bring it back to where you started. 2) Make two wide pleats and tuck it in to the skirt as well. 3) Now take the pallu and make pleats. 4) Take the pleated pallu over your left shoulder. The pallu would be longer than in Nivi style saree drape because of the lesser number of pleats used. 5) Take the end corner of the pallu from behind, pass it under your right arm and hang it over your right shoulder. 6) Use a heavy ornament or key to keep the pallu in place. You may also pin it up for extra support. (Image copyrights belong to their respective owners)
