Step 1: The first step is to choose your desired Banarasi saree you want to convert into a lehenga. Go for a thicker fabric for a better finish. Additionally, keep the length in mind. The longer the saree, the better the lehenga.
Step 2: Now spread the saree onto the surface and mark the layout of the lehenga. For marking, you can choose the beautiful front pallu of the saree, this is the most beautiful section of the fabric.
Step 3: Once you have marked the layout, start cutting it carefully. While cutting make sure you leave some space from where you’ve marked. It's safe to keep extra clothes in case there’s any issue in size later on.
Step 4: Sew your lehenga using a sewing machine. You can add extra charm to your ethnic outfit by adding motifs, beads, mirrors and dori on the back of the blouse.
