Anyone up for a mermaid look?


If you're planning on dancing in a saree, this is ideal. Makes your saree stand out from the crowd.
Perfectly displays a beautiful border pattern!

Convinced? No? Then, let's get started with this old-school trend right away! Get inspired by these thirteen pleated pallu curtains — you'll be amazed!

1. Flaunt in the classic pleated shirt
Incredibly chic and flexible, there is no reason to turn down this one. The pallu pleats are pinned to the left shoulder in this one.


2. Loosely tied at the waist
Like the look of pleats but dislike the tight pallu, pulled on-waist effect? Make broad pallu pleats and pin on the shoulder after forming skirt pleats and wrapping over hips, but let the drape around the waist loose. This is ideal for women with large hips because of its regal appearance and old-world charm. Heavy-weave wedding saris and handloom saris can benefit from this fabric. Avoid wearing chiffon sarees, which are too light to handle the challenge.


3. The width of the border Pleats
Do you want to flaunt a beautiful brocade border or a designer one? When pleating, keep the border's width as the starting point. If your saree border is as wide as the ones in Kanchipuram, the resulting pleats will be wider than the conventional design.


4. Wrapped over the neck and shoulders
A standard or narrowly pleated pallu can be worn as a necktie. Add a striking brooch to your outfit for added flair. When you wear a sweater or coat over it, you can wear a sari without looking out of place. If you're going for a bohemian saree vibe or want to show off your chiselled shoulders and upper back, this is the outfit for you.

5. Designer Blouse
Adding a loop or pocket to your blouse that allows a neatly-pleated pallu to flow through can make your blouse appear like a million dollars while also giving you more room to move around when you want to prance and dance (as in the image). Angarakha blouses are a great way to show off your upper body and a fashionable Angarakha blouse.

6. Pleats that are less than an inch wide (Pinned Severely)
In order to get the pallu to be less than your (one) shoulder breadth, pleat a plain saree with a border. Tightly pin on the shoulder – and pin the decolletage and bosom pleats together. You can wear the pallu as a belt to accentuate your blouse and waist. This is ideal for sarees with a lot of embellishment on the body of the saree. If you don't like to show off your physique, this isn't ideal.

7. Gujarati Seedha Pallu
This one is a cult favourite amongst females of all ages due to its endearingly feminine aesthetic. In a traditional Gujarati chaniya choli, the drape, which has a similar look to a dupatta drape, is pinned on the right shoulder. With this design, instead of the traditional pallu, the loose end of the saree drapes on top of the woman's chest (falls in the front). The fundamental style may be adapted in numerous ways, making it convenient to carry.


8. Short Seedha Pallu
Instead of a traditional seedha pallu with a waist-baring, midriff-looping loop, try a pleated short pallu that falls on the front instead. Women in their 60s and 70s are most likely to wear this form of the hands-free pallu, but don't be afraid to give it a whirl! If you're looking for sarees that are a little more solid and stiff, you might want to try cotton and cotton-silk sarees.

9. Bengali-style pleated hair
The Bengali pallu drape, like the Gujarati pallu, is a popular choice for women who want to experiment with different sari looks for special occasions like weddings and rituals. Navratri is a popular time to wear Bengali saris.
