Double Drape

Mumtaj style is very elegant and popular but not much comfortable while walking. But if someone wants the same coiled look while not being uncomfortable then try the double drape. It gives almost the same look but saree is not that narrow fitted so that you can walk freely. Saree is twice draped around the body giving coiled saree look and pallu is secured at left shoulder without pleating.

Coiled Saree Drape

Coiled style drape is most commonly known as Mumtaz style. In this form saree is worn like a coil. Yesteryears bollywood diva Mumtaz popularized it when she draped a orange saree in this innovative style for song "Ajkal tere mere pyar ke charche".  Since then this style is very popular and has never been out of fashion. Actoress Priyanka Chopra was also seen in same style in movie " Teri Meri Kahani".

In this style only two or three pleats are made facing left and rest of saree is wrapped around  the lower body. Each wrap is kept 4-5 inches above the last wrap. And pallu is secured on left shoulder making narrow pleats.

This style perfectly suits you if you are slim and has a curvy figure. This is not a very comfortable style in terms of walk as saree is coiled two three times around lower body giving it a tight fitting but perfect for parties and occasions.
