. Another trick, when wearing a sari, the more falls you make, the better the sari looks. And make the sure the falls are more towards the center for the best fall. Its easier to carry fewer falls and on the side but it does not come across as well.

what are the falls? Are you talking about the pleats?
oh and i'm eagerly waiting to find out what these "rings" you're talking about are:)

One recommendation is that try getting hooks on the petticoat instead of azar band. That way you don't have a bulge where you tie it. In fact, I say dont get a tight fitting petticoat because its going to be uncomfortable and limit walking.

Where would I get these hooks for the petticoat? How exactly do they work?

I can never tie the petticoat tight enough so when I do wear a sari it always comes loose towards the end of the evening and then I keep stepping on the bottom of the sari.:( I love wearing saris but these days because it's so hard putting on a sari, I just stick to salwars.
Whether I like it or not i'm going to master how to wear the sari!!! :D

I am in the army so I know about wearing sari,

What does being in the army have to do with sarees? I cant imagine them being good combat attire. :soldier:

@larki

^wearing your sari tight really helps give the shape but wearing a tight petticoat might be better as long as you can walk in it properly because a pouffy petticoat might make your bum look bigger

you say it like its a bad thing ... lol j/k :LB:

Re: Sari--a question on petti coats

I thought sari is an indian cultural outfit, I saw the female doctors wearing an outfit similar to sari in Army medical hospital but it looked like a combination western, shalwar and sari(had a cloth drapped accross the bust). Now im confused.

Falls are the folds that are made in the front, I think they’re called pleats as well..

Rings are the ultimate trick. These are made where the falls or pleats end. BEFORE tucking in the falls, make folds of material that lead to the area where the falls will eventually go. Make a row of horizontal folds that lead all the way back. These cast a bit of a shadow on the hips making them look smaller and the rings do wonders to the butt.

Have the tailor put hooks on the sari… I’ve seen people have hooks put on shalwars so it shouldn’t be a problem. It’s more comfortable than the azarband and it stays in place.

Female doctors in army in pak wear a sari. The blouse is the same as it is in men’s uniforms…although a bit more shapely. The sari is khakhi as well and the pallu goes across the front in falls of its own and is passed under the flashes/ranks on the shoulder.so it doesn’t drape but is basically folded where it passes the bust. No shalwar involved.

It isnt a practical dress but it is definately graceful. You need to remember the only women in the army at this time are doctors or nurses. They are changing the uniform soon to shalwar kameez which although is more practical does not have the same grace.

Oh I see, I think the change to Shalwar Kammez would be a good one as this is national dress of Pakistan, besides being more practical, it looks nicer and suits pakistanis more then sari does. i remember we couldnt stop laughing when we saw the doctor in AMC, she looked soo weird and out of place in her pseudo-sari like uniform, it was as if we were in the wrong country lol!.

Re: Sari--a question on petti coats

shalvar kameez might be more practical, but sarees definitely look better.

Re: Sari--a question on petti coats

she prolly wasnt wearing it properly, because honestly it looks good when worn properly.

Shalwar kameez is the national dress but looks nowhere as good. And on top of that, the uniform will have a thick belt around the middle with a V dupatta tucked into the belt. It looks really blaah.
