pragya0262

At EDarjee, we continue our Saree Draping Chronicles, where we explore elegant and unique ways to wear a saree. In this episode, we bring you the Bengali Draping Style, known for its regal and effortless charm. This traditional drape, often associated with Durga Puja and cultural festivities, offers a distinct look with its wide pleats and signature pallu styling.


How to Drape the Bengali Style Saree?

Follow these simple steps to achieve the classic Bengali drape:

1️⃣ Tuck the Saree: Start by tucking the saree at the left side of your belly button and wrap it around your waist from left to right.

2️⃣ Create Box Pleats: Make two large, boxed pleats from right to left and tuck them under the belly button. Secure with pins if needed.

3️⃣ Adjust the Pleats: Bring the pleats together and tuck them neatly under the navel for a structured look.

4️⃣ Prepare the Pallu: Make vertical pleats for the pallu and pull it from under your right arm. Pin it onto your left shoulder.

5️⃣ Finish with a Knot: Take the end of the pleated pallu, bring it to the front, and tie a small knot over your right shoulder, securing it under your arm for the signature Bengali touch.


Style Tips to Enhance Your Bengali Saree Look

✔️ Opt for a handloom saree like a Tant, Dhakai Jamdani, or Baluchari for an authentic appeal.

✔️ Pair it with a three-quarter sleeve blouse or a traditional puff-sleeve blouse for a graceful look.

✔️ Accessorize with gold jewelry, a big red bindi, and a sleek bun adorned with flowers for a classic Bengali diva vibe.
