20 ways to drape a  saree without showing your fat tummy
Wearing saree is every Indian woman's favorite and I can even say every girl's dream from their childhood. In fact, flaunting in saree is a reflection of our Indian tradition coming from ages. Saree is must wear women outfit in most of the Indian festivals and wedding ceremonies that happen in families.  Though saree is all women favorite, few women do not prefer to wear a saree since they are not comfortable and don't like to show-off their tummy.
Women want to hide their tummy due to various reasons such as stretch marks, double tummy, fat tummy, flaw skin, baby bump,  love handles, waist shapes out and many more. Whatever could be the reason, Today I came up with a few Ideas to hide your belly while wearing the saree without any hesitation.

1. Use Lengthy Blouse on saree:


 Covering up your tummy with a blouse is a fuss-free idea.Do you remember old actress blouse designs??  They never ever showed-off their stomach. Simply follow that old-fashioned style by making them trendy with a small twist.Just ask your tailor to lengthen the down yoke part of the blouse. Either you can design the yoke part with lace or contrast shade frills so that stomach is covered up fully. These blouses not just serve the purpose but also gives a trendy look.

Cape Blouse is the latest blouse hitting the fashion. This  Chic blouse style is also a good option to cover up the tummy part because the cape comes up with overall work or at the border and is extended to the stomach to cover up your belly.

6. Drape the saree in freestyle: 

It is the easiest and well-known method to hide your tummy, Simply open the pallu part of the saree free without any pleats at shoulder. This freestyle works for georgette, chiffon, crepe sarees which are non-transparent. But, don't try this open style with sheer fabric which are totally miss the purpose. you can even bring the edge of pallu to the front and hold to get the classy look or tie up to your wrist to get a modern look.

7. Pinning Saree to the blouse:

To keep the saree intact, its a good idea to use pins. Pin the pleats of saree pallu at the front &  at side of the blouse so that pleats are secured in place and no worries about exposing the tummy area. Use the pins efficiently and neatly by pinning them underneath the saree pallu so that the pins are not visible.

Hiding tummy doesn't mean that you wrap up the fabric around you but, draping the saree neatly and comfortably Draping the saree in an efficient way can cover up your tummy at its best. At the starting part of the pallu from where the front pleats end,  secure with a safety pin one with a blouse and another one underneath the front pleats so that the tummy is covered and gives slimmer look.

Double saree draping is a massive hit last year and they are in very much vogue.  Bollywood Actress Sonam Kapoor spotted in some events these dual saree draping last year. I just tried with one of my net saree that worked well in a festival get-together. Drape the saree in freestyle and attach a dupatta at the front pleats and bring it to front from the back. You should pay attention on color combination and fabric of sarees.  Try to team up plain saree with Floral or printed dupatta or team up work saree with h plain dupatta or kanjeevaram sarees with contrast banarasi dupatta,  that works great with the royal look.

Yes,  you heard it right!!  Most of the celebrities following this style by flaunting saree with trendy shirts. In spite using the routine blouse, give a try draping the saree with Full sleeved single shaded plain T-shirt or plain normal button up shirt. I would prefer standard colors such as Black, white or pastel shaded that matches with saree. you can leave the shirt as it is or tuck them inside the saree petticoat.  This style definitely looks Chic and  I am sure that you receive a lot of compliments for sure.

19. Don't Tuck your saree too low

Drape the saree at a decent height at your waist not too low or not too high.  Few ladies tuck up saree too high to cover their tummy but the end up ruining the whole saree look.  Drape the saree just below your novel at the front and pull up the sides to little high at waistline so that it forms a 'V' shape.  This perfect shape helps you to hide your tummy with a decent look.

Do's and Don'ts in  wearing Saree
