Drape yourself in a kanjeevaram heavily embellished dupatta over a raw silk Kurta and a palazzo or over a silk Anarkali dress to be the gorgeous diva of all dreams.

Drape it like a lehenga saree:

A tiered pleated lehenga while making the palla with the gorgeous Kanjeevaram will make an exquisite outlook. A new drape style of wearing a cancan lehenga and pleating the Kanjeevaram saree with pleats in the front and back with pallu will add royalty.

Pair Kanji with a Kurta:

Be experimentative and pair the Kanchi with a Kurta, preferably a peplum top and add on a belt for enhancement of the waist.

Alternate draping style:

Opt for pinning the saree in various ways

• Gujarati way of pinning the Pallu.
• If the border is exceptional then Mumtaz style of draping
• Double Pallu saree draping where a saree and a dupatta is used. Sonam Kapoor made this type of drape trendy.
