Saree School Lesson 25 - How to Nurse in a Saree

Lesson 25 tells you everything you need to know if you're at an event and need to nurse your baby. Follow these easy steps:

1. Wear a front-open blouse.

90% of tiabhuva.com blouses are nursing friendly (zippered blouses can be worn with the zipper in front or back) and were launched when I had my first son because I wanted a soft stretchy blouse I could comfortably fit in whether I had just nursed or was overdue for nursing.

2. Pin together all pleats.

Pinning together your pallu pleats keeps everything in place when it's time to nurse, making it easier to fix your drape afterwards.

3. Do not attach this pin to blouse.

If you pin your pallu pleats together and to your blouse with the same pin, your pleats will unravel every time you need to take the pallu down.

4. Separate pin to attach to blouse for easy removal.

Using a separate pin to pin the pallu to your blouse ensures that your pleats will stay intact every time.

Saree School Lesson 22 - Walking up or down stairs in a Saree

Wearing a saree is a beautiful experience, but navigating stairs can be a bit tricky. Here’s a simple guide to help you glide down the stairs with grace and confidence.

1. Hold Your Pallu: Gently gather your pallu in your hand, keeping it close to your body. This not only looks elegant but also ensures you don’t step on it.

2. Lift the Hem: Grab your front pleats and slightly lift the hem of your saree with your other hand. This gives you a clear view of the steps and prevents tripping.

3. Take Small Steps: Walk down the stairs slowly, taking small, careful steps. This helps you maintain balance and control.
