This is a no-cut or stitch process. Take any satin-based saree and hold the starting portion which is going to be inside. Measure it around the waist and reach the point you need to start making the pleats. Now make pleats as usual and secure them with a safety pin. Make sure you don’t flatten it by hand or make them hide one over another. Maintain a minimal gap in the overlapping of pleats. Here you get the pre-pleated skirt which gives it an alluding charm.

Next up we have the pallu, measuring the section of the fabric that will come off the shoulder. Make proper pleats underneath and as it is a flowy material, pin it up in intervals and check the required length of the pallu. Finally, at the location where it will fall on your shoulder your pre-draped satin saree is ready to wear in a couple of minutes.

Organza sarees look incredibly fabulous but sadly one of the most difficult ones to get a good drape. They often take a lot of time to drape properly making them unsuitable for last-minute outfit selection. Therefore, it’s best to keep them pre-draped. Start wrapping it around your waist as usual and start making pleats from the point where required. Don’t overlap the pleats and maintain a minimal gap. Since organza is a sheer and crisp fabric you might want to press the pleats to avoid them from looking fluffy. Safely pin the pleats then move to the pallu. Organza saree has a kind of material which won’t look good with a pleated pallu. It has an allure that reflects with open pallu grabbing all the attention.
