Sarees since time immemorial have garnered repute for themselves for their timeless elegance and grace.  A saree not only hides body flaws but also makes a woman look sensuous, mysterious and refined. The saree typically consists of a piece of cloth draped and tucked into a petticoat or a lehenga and worn with a choli, which forms a different part of the ensemble.

The saree also happens to be India’s national dress so we all must endeavour to wear it with pride, chutzpah and grace. The best thing about a saree is that it can be worn by women of different shapes, sizes and complexions. You do not have to starve yourself thin to fit into one. Here are some style and design tips to wear sarees that look good on everybody.

Top Saree Designs For Everybody

Saree For The Plus Size Woman

Women who are pleasantly plump need not feel restricted or limited in their choices when it comes to wearing or donning a saree. In fact, there are plenty of good materials and fabrics available in sarees that can actually make you look super slim and stunningly gorgeous. If you are slightly overweight, go in for materials that have a slimming effect like crepes, georgettes and chiffons. These are lightweight materials and drape well on the Indian form.

In fact, georgette is a beautiful option for a voluptuous woman. Buy a beautifully embellished or embroidered saree in georgette. Heavy embroidery looks good and falls well on materials in georgette. If you are a first timer, the saree will also be easier to manage. Opt for dark colours like blue, red, navy blue, which have a slimming effect. Do not choose overly glossy and shiny materials. Stick to monochromes. Sarees with abstract prints will invite attention to all the wrong places.

Make sure you drape it well by tucking it in the right corners and places so that it does not look voluminous. Seek the advice of a stylist. A heavy benerasi saree can be draped by keeping a longer pallu and having lesser pleats at the waist so that your tummy area does not look too bulky.

Saree For The Slim Woman

The slim woman has a distinctive edge as she can gracefully carry most fabrics and styles in sarees. If you are too skinny, opt for fabrics that add volume to your frame and make you look voluptuous. Go in for fabrics like cotton, organza and silk, which are more bulky and voluminous.

Tissue sarees and silk sarees with heavy, zardosi work are some of the better options for very thin women. You can carry off most colours so wear what you like. In fact, you can seriously dabble in pastel shades, as these will not make you look fat unlike overweight women.

You can choose bold, big, abstract prints like the classic Satya Paul saree, which looks beautiful on a slim and toned body. Wear customized sarees that make you look curvy especially if your body is very straight or angular. These are pre-stitched to suit your frame. Remember to always wear correct jewellery with your saree. Never wear sarees without heels. Heels add length and grace to your garment.
