How to Choose the Right Saree for Your Body Type

The saree is one of the most flattering garments ever designed – it suits every body. A few smart choices in fabric, border and print can help you feel even more confident.

Petite Frames

• Choose lightweight fabrics like soft cotton or light silk that don't overwhelm your frame.
• Go for narrow borders and small motifs.
• Monochrome or tone-on-tone sarees create a longer line.
• Pin the pleats neatly and keep the pallu slightly shorter.

Tall Frames

• You can carry wide borders, bold prints and large ikat motifs beautifully.
• Rich silks and heavy pallus look striking.
• Contrast borders and blouses add lovely balance.

Curvy Frames

• Fabrics with a soft fall – silk, tussar and fine cotton – drape gracefully.
• Medium-sized motifs and vertical patterns are flattering.
• Pin the pallu in neat pleats over the shoulder for a streamlined look.
• A well-fitted blouse makes the biggest difference.

Slim Frames

• Crisp cotton handlooms and textured weaves add structure.
• Checks, like the Pasapalli pattern, and horizontal designs look great.
• Try an open pallu for volume.

Tips for Everyone

• Fit matters most – invest in a well-tailored blouse.
• Wear the right petticoat and footwear when draping.
• Choose colours that make you happy – confidence is your best accessory.
