If I try to drape, god save me... it will take atleast half an hour and I would have draped clumsily with lots of pins around! And the worst part... when I am in a sari... I have to be left alone... I cannot handle my son... or any other job which will require lots of run-around! :)RadShanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09003163311276562744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754927206488334474.post-60911873037874050602009-11-08T00:00:00.233+09:002009-11-08T00:00:00.233+09:00hehehe!!

However, i never used to like wearing saree, so never gave it a try and it would take 30 mins prior to my wedding. Now its come down to 7 to 8 minutes, but i dont wear all that often, only during important weddings and i am never satisfied with the end result. One suggestion though is to get some tips and pointers from those who drape very well. One such tip helped me improve my technique. And keep trying.<br />All the Best :)Lavanya Sriramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358304193016120166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754927206488334474.post-6466514451923939132009-10-31T18:44:05.215+09:002009-10-31T18:44:05.215+09:00Oh, I know the feeling!!
I would not say, that we ...Oh, I know the feeling!!<br />I would not say, that we are in the same boat, but yes a boat but a different one!! :D<br />I can carry it off and know how to drape it too, but I just dont have the will/ desire/ inclination/ motivation to wear them.<br />Only a very important ceremony will see me in a saree. <br />So, all my sarees have moved from the hangars in the cupboards to the suitcases kept HIGH on the loft!!<br /><br />But if you love sarees, I guess, you just need to practice a few times. Start with semi-synthetic/ chiffon sarees, as they are easy to manage. Then move on to silks and cotton ones!!<br /><br />All the best and Happy Draping! :)Shilpa Garghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016927627801620377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754927206488334474.post-45669348147132877612009-10-31T17:30:16.041+09:002009-10-31T17:30:16.041+09:00I am not a guy to comment on sarees but yes I like...I am not a guy to comment on sarees but yes I like this dialogue "I think I looked like the female version of Shrek!"<br /><br />:)<br /><br />To help you, I found an article that will help you sort out the problem of wearing saree.<br /><br />http://www.utsavsarees.com/saree/wearsari.htm<br /><br />Try the above link. <br />When you have any problems in life the first thing you should do is, praying to.... "The Google Devta" <br /><br />I do not suggest google because I am working there but I think google will provide you solutions to all problems...<br /><br />:) Again wishing you lucks for future saree ceremonies.<br /><br />My friend came to kerala once and had to wear a lungi for entering the temple and in mid of praying it went down... ha ha<br /><br />He said Abhi... I am never gona wear it again<br /><br />I advised him to tie a belt next time...<br /><br />It happens with all dear.Abhilashhttp://abhilifelapazzo.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
