2. Petticot should never be visible under your saree when you stand.

3. Petticot should be tied little tight. Otherwise your saree will start sagging and pleats will come out.

4. Be careful about the length of the pallu. It should fall upto the back of knees. Too long pallu will make you trip.

5. First make the pallu pleats and then pleat the remaining saree. This will help you in keeping the right length of pallu.

6. Pleats should be deep enough otherwise it will be a problem when you walk.

7. Pin up your pallu and pleats. This will make saree easily manageable and avoid any wardrobe malfunction.
