Looking for that perfect saree?

Most people like me are often confused on what type of saree should they buy so as to make them look really beautiful, slim and feel tall. This is the most common question that every women who loves to present themselves in a saree has got in her mind. There could be lot of factors like which saree to choose based on occasions; how to drape a saree; which type of saree to wear depending on season, etc. but I will be writing more such articles to address those questions in the future. This article will try to address confusions around buying a saree that better suits your physique and personality. There are 4 things that could affect your saree fit

• Material of the saree
• Color of the saree
• The way you drape a saree
• Design of the saree

For overweight women – 

To begin with, choose a light weight material like Georgette, Chiffon, Crepe and Art silk to an extent.  Blended silk sarees with less zari can also be preferred. Try to avoid heavy weighing sarees like pure silk with lot of zari work and sarees with heavy embroidery and stone work or mirror work. In terms of color, choose light colors that are subtle and doesn’t show you gaudy. Wear your saree with closed pleats that are neatly pinned. If you leave the shoulder pleats flowing, it may show you heavier than you actually are. Choose designs that are fine and have smaller patterns rather than elaborate or large prints.

For petit  women – 

In most cases, it works if you choose a material that is opposite of what was encouraged for over weighed women for e.g. pure silk with full zari work, cotton and brocade sarees that are heavy. Sarees with elaborate embroidery and stone work can be good choice as well. Heavy and dark colors go well with slim women as it adds richness to the overall appearance. Try to avoid wearing sarees that are pinned up tight. I would suggest to either leave shoulder pleats flowing or pin them loosely so that it doesn’t make you look skinny. Large printed designs usually go well with petit women.

For medium/athletic built women – 

 

The good news for medium built women is that they fall within the range of slim and over-weighed women and therefore have the freedom to choose from both. As explained above, the choice of colors, design, patterns and the amount of work totally depends on your preference and choice. Though, I would caution on selecting the colors of the saree that complements well with your skin color. Generally light color sarees go well with dark skinned women. However a fair skinned women can choose from a wider range.

For short women – 

From the perspective of material and color, you can pick and choose from one of the above depending on your body size but where short women needs to focus is on the designs and patterns of the saree. It is advisable to avoid tall patterns like temple or mango designs that takes most part of the saree borders. It is preferable to wear close pleats since it may make you look taller than you actually are; loose pleats may be avoided.

For tall women – 

As far as designs and patterns are concerned, try wearing long or elaborate prints and designs which complements well with your height. Material and color can be chosen depending on the body size however it is worth mentioning that chiffon, georgette or striped patterns might show you even taller. Therefore use your best judgement in picking those saree materials. I have personally noticed that checked patterns go well with tall women.

I hope this article has clarified the single question that most of you have in your mind and this is based on the personal observation that I have made for many years being a saree lover. Please use your best discretion in taking these suggestions while you buy a saree and I am sure you would look more pretty and gorgeous in a saree.
