Secure them with pins and finish the look with a traditional belt – Kamarbandh or a gold chain.
Drape it Dress Style
There is no denying that Tia has magic in her hands when it comes to saree draping. She can literally turn a saree into a stylish dress! Wear a fancy crop top with jeans or a silhouette skirt. Knot the ends of your saree and wear it like a shrug. Pleat the remaining part of your saree and tuck it at the back. Finish the look with a belt to secure the silhouette.
Off-Shoulder Gown Style
This one is truly something worth a try! Give your saree draping an oomph by wearing it like a flared off-shouldered ball gown.

Drape It Like A Pleated Skirt
Love wearing traditional long skirts with modern tops? Tia Bhuvan shows you how to do it with a saree too! The tutorial shows you how easy it is to create a stunning skirt look with a few pleats and draping it the right way. Also, she wore it with a beautiful rose gold peplum top for a chic look.
Back and Side Pleated Saree
Bored of the usual front pleats? Well, Tia tucks her saree pleats at the back of her skirt instead! Above all, this adds a lot of volume and flare to your look. If you stack the pleats on top of each other you’ll get less flare. Instead, spread them out slightly while you tuck them in.
You can also try her side pleating trick. This gives a half-saree look especially when you drape it in contrast colors.
