Silk Vintage Sari
Grrr! I just bought a silk sari and have not been able to figure out how to pack properly!?
I just to buy a vintage sari store in the mall called Earthbound. It is simple, pink and about 47 "x196". I love really, esp. since I bought it for $ 32! I searched on Youtube and Google to understand how to wrap the sari properly. I do not know if it's me or what, but I have not been able to figure out how to pack properly! I watched many videos and was still not able to get it right! Or my sari was caught around me, or adapt it too tight around my ankles, making it difficult to walk. I know there are several ways to wrap a sari, but if you could, could you please give me the easiest way beginners? Am I the right length? How do I wrap it so it covers all of me? Sheilana, you said that I need a cord skirt ... but where can I get one? Has it be cable, or can it be that the ties around the waist?
You need a cord skirt for two reasons. Reason is that you have something to Tuck in the sari to wrap. (Do not use a safety pin. You will end up naked from the waist down to the most embarrassing moment or something.) The second reason is because sari fabric is often very simple. A petticoat which is not simple allow you to keep a little dignity. Tuck one end of the sari on the side. Bring some tissue around your height in front of the skirt. Then start folding the material over and back in folds, about four to six inches wide. When you have about ten feet fabric left, stop. Place the pleated fabric at the front of the skirt. Then bring the rest of the tissue around you once again and throw the rest over your shoulder. Edit: It need not be drawstring, but the ethnic clothing for women is traditionally adjustable so that it allows things like loss of weight, weight gain and pregnancy. You can get the skirts on Ebay, but you can make one very easily too. Just take fabric, hem it at both ends, but make sure the hem over at one end. To this end, the thread of a string or ribbon through, then the seam in place. Ta da! You just cord sewn a skirt. (You can use a template if you feel brave enough to go a little fancier.) Try a dark color to show sari. For some reason light colors do not do well, but any color is fine.
