How To Tie A Sari - Part 3

The next thing, you are going to do, once you get here, is you are going to start folding it into pleats. Now the pleats should be about 3-5 inches in length. It doesn't really matter, so you can do it like this. Also keep in mind that different materials will fold more easily than others, just because some materials are more slippery. So be very careful, when you are doing this. Just hold it like that, okay.

And the next thing you are going to do is once you are finished with this, you are just going to grab the whole of it, like that. Monica if you can hold this place, okay. Now you are going to follow it, around your body, around the back and bring it back to the front over your left shoulder.

Now once you get to the right hip again, this is the corner stone of the whole sari, when you start putting it on. You'll across your chest over your left shoulder. So we are just going to put it over like this.

Now when you put it over your shoulder you want to make sure that is the right length in the back. Something like this, would typically be too short, but if that's all the material you have left, then go for it.

In this case, we have a lot of material, left over. So we can pull it over and down to the floor. Something like this is more appropriate. Anything longer will probably get in your way, you are going to have trouble sitting down or doing daily activities. So this is really should be it.
