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.

Saree School Lesson 11 - How to preserve your lace sarees.

Feed a band-aid, button, or piece of paper through the safety pin before pinning your saree. I used white paper here so that it is easy to see in the video but would recommend using a similar colour to the saree.

Saree School Lesson 9 - Use a bindhi/pottu when pinning delicate fabrics.

Using a bindhi/pottu when pinning will save all of your delicate sarees from safety pins snagging the fabric and getting stuck/creating a tear. You can also use a band-aid, a piece of paper, or a button!

Saree School Lesson 8 - Easy hip pleats (method #1).

One method to achieve beautiful hip pleats is to reach under your front pleats, grab the extra fabric, twist and tuck it into your underskirt. This doesn't just create hip pleats but it also ensures that the saree stays taut between the front pleats and the pallu.
