Hi girls, so I have a dilema my pallu is dragging on the floor when i wear it bengali style. I want to wear this beautiful black and silver saree I own but some time back I had a sari belt put in (i learned the hard way what a bad idea it is to have those readymade saris where the pleats are already stitched).
I wore it for a reception i planned on dancing around in so i guess when i got the belted pleats put in i thought it was a wise choice bc it will stay in place I wore it the style below and the pallu was off of the ground:
when it’s worn like above the pallu doesn’t drag on the floor. I plan on wearing it bengali style like in the pictures below but my pallu is on the floor and it’s like about 3 inches of material dragging. any tips on how to pin it so that this doesn’t happen? with a normal sari i’d just pleat it more so that the material isn’t so long but it looks like that won’t work with this one since the pleats are sewn into a belt.
I tried on the sari last night and felt slim and hot but with the pallu dragging so much I also felt like aishwarya rai in the last scene of devdas.
I may just wrap the pallu around to my other arm and pin it around my elbow if i can’t find a solution.
