I’ve been sticking to the promise of wearing Sarees. But I took a break in between- in getting all the images. Hopefully 2020 will keep up the inspiration without starts and stops on the blog and the documentation.
Drape: Seedha Pallu is a very simple drape, commonly worn in Uttar Pradesh, among other states including Gujarat. The rest of the drape, except the Pallu is similar to the Nivi.
Saree: The Saree I chose is 6-yard cotton silk- and not necessarily meant for winter or snow. I wore it with a jacket as a blouse. I also wore a Petticoat and layered it up. The Saree is from Sanjay Garg’s Raw Mango and has gold zari bootis and a gold border on a soft pastel pink base.
Blouse: This jacket is also cotton silk and perfectly matched the Saree by sheer coincidence. It belongs to a skirt which I am going to feature in this series as well. The blouse is from Sougat Paul’s Soup.

But it’s 2020 so here we go :) > Drape: Seedha Pallu. Except the pallu, the drape is pretty much like the regular Nivi drape. This is worn all over the country and is quite popular. > Saree: @Raw_mango 2019 (cotton silk) > Blouse: Jacket @soupbysougatpaul 2019 > Shoes: @stevemadden 2018 > Details: Bit.ly/theSareeProject > Photo: @Dushyantw #saree #sari #thesareeproject #sareedraping #sareelovers #sareeinmichigan #rawmango #soup #jacketwithsaree
To make it hands-free and avoid sticking safety pins in a new, delicate Saree (my wedding anniversary gift), I decided to wear a tiny belt and keep the Pallu in its spot. For the photos, I was wearing Steve Madden flats, but it did get cold towards the evening when I wore it with Lucky boots (not pictured).
