Rich History of Rajrani Saree and Draping
The Rajrani saree draping style, hailing from the state of Rajasthan in India, is a regal and ornate way of wearing the traditional garment. It involves wrapping the saree multiple times around the body to create a voluminous and layered look, often adorned with richly embroidered blouses and elaborate jewelry. This opulent draping style reflects the cultural heritage and royal history of Rajasthan, making it a symbol of elegance and grace.
Style Essentials
Accessories for the rajrani saree include a matching or designer blouse, a petticoat, pair of comfortable heels, safety pins and complementing jewellery. One must use an embellished, heavily embroidered or zari saree for that splendid look.
Discover The Beauty Of The ‘Rajrani’ Style With These Draping Steps
Step-1- The Basic Tuck
Begin by doing the basic tuck from right to your left and take the saree around bringing it to the front. Tuck in the fabric carefully and neatly. Now hold the pallu and make neat pleats out of it using your thumb and little fingers. You can use a clamp, clips, or pins to secure the pleats.
Step 2- Setting The Front and Waist Pleats
Now hold the pallu pleats and place it on the right shoulder taking it from back to front. Now attach the pallu to the blouse with the help of a safety pin. The main essence of this drape lies in the technique of getting the front pallu pretty and neat. Now, move on to the third step to make the waist pleats. Pleats on the waist shouldn’t be too narrow or too broad and will face in the right-hand direction. One can take around 6 to 7 pleats.
Step 3- Forming a V on the front
The center pleats would enhance the whole look of your decorative ethnic saree. Take the left corner of the saree and pin it on the left shoulder. The front pallu would turn out to be a V pattern or shape that looks royal and elegant.
The style is extremely versatile and can be complemented with very heavy or light jewellery that you can select from KALKI Fashion.
