Gujarati Style
This is a traditional draping style from the state of Gujarat. It is easier to
manage and suited for draping Heavily Worked / Bridal / Silk Sarees. After
tucking the pleats into your Petticoat (Step 6) remove the Pallu section from
your left shoulder (over which it had been flung earlier to keep out of the way
in Step 3). Bring part of the Pallu forward from your back by draping it over
your right shoulder. The Pallu can now be arranged into an upside-down
fan-shape from your right shoulder. The remainder is left to hang behind in a
J-shaped arc from the back of your left hip where it is still tucked into the
waistband, to the back of your right shoulder.
Gujarati Brocade
These are extremely expensive and virtually extinct. The main distinguishing characteristics
of the Gujarati Brocade Saree:
- Butis (circular designs) woven into the field in the warp direction instead of the weft, resulting in their lying horizontally instead of vertically on the saree when draped.
- Floral designs woven in coloured silk, against a golden (woven zari) ground fabric. Although such 'inlay' work is a common feature in many western Deccan silks, the Gujarati work usually has leaves, flowers and stems outlined by a fine dark line.
