How to look slim in a saree?

Loved for its traditional elegance and grace, a saree is more than just an ensemble for every Indian girl.

Try the magical fabric

Opt for fabrics that drape softly, such as crepe, chiffon, and georgette, and give a nice and smooth finish. These fabrics show off your curves in the best way and are best to feel extra slim and stylish.

Prints that flatter

The design on your saree can be used as a secret weapon for a slim look. Opt for geometric or vertical stripe patterns that create a taller and slimmer illusion.

The secret colour crush

Ever wondered why black clothes make you look slimmer, as they absorb light instead of reflecting it. Thus, choose colours like black, deep purple, and blue for a slimmer effect.

The draping magic

The way you drape your saree does the trick. One should avoid fabric that can add a bulk effect and instead should focus on clean pleats that lie flat against the body, making you look slim.
