Ensure the entire sari is well-ironed for ease of preparation. Decide the width of the pleat and take the first layer based on that width.

Pleat the pallu, adjusting for any puffiness by pressing it down or pinning as needed.
Step #3:
Repeat this process until you reach the other end of the saree. Ensure that the good side of the sari is on both sides of the pallu.
Step #4:
Iron the pleated pallu once you are satisfied with the pleats. Use safety pins to secure and aid in the ironing process.
Front Pleats
Step #5:
If doing it for yourself, wrap it around yourself, ensuring the pleats are taken at the right spot.
