Want to make a grand statement with your saree? Tussar silk sarees can portray sophistication at its finest. In this blog, we will put together tips on the elegant drape of this luxuriant fabric to enhance your style for any occasion. Let's unlock the Tussar Silk glamour together!
What is Tussar Silk?
Tussar silk is a wild silk fabric made from the cocoons of the tussar silk moth, also known as kosa silk, tussah, or tasar silk. This rich, luxurious fabric is known for its texture and lustre.
With a little rough feel and brilliant patterns, tussar appeals as a choice on several occasions, as it brings about both elegance and comfort.How to choose the right Tussar Silk Sarees for you?
- Colour of your choice: Bold and vibrant colours or subtle colours; Tussar Silk sarees come in all. Pick a colour according to your skin tone. Warm tones like golden, deep red or orange are beauties in gold complexion, while cools as blues and greens go with fair skin.
- Fabric texture: The appeal of Tussar Silk lies in the fact that it is of a different texture, slightly rougher than silk yet equally rich. Watch out for the weight and feel of the fabric; it should flow smoothly and luxuriously but have enough stiffness to hold its shape.
- Design and motifs: Normally, these traditional Tussar Silk sarees come with handwoven motifs such as Madhubani or block prints or have zari designs. Ask yourself how intricate you would want it; do you want traditional designs or modern and chic?
- Border style: The border has a large role to play in framing your Tussare silk saree. If you want something big and delicate, use a contrasting colour on the border for a statement, while a subtle tone border looks ever so understatedly elegant. A little detail with the right border can do wonders for your look.
- Draping style: Next, you should be aware of how you will drape the saree. Certain Tussar Silk sarees complement certain draping styles better, so choose one that makes you feel comfortable and graceful—whether in Nivi or Bengali draping.
How to drape Tussar Silk Sarees for an elegant look?
Let's get everything ready first. Collect your tussar silk saree (iron it well) along with 4 - 5 safety pins and a matching petticoat, which you need to wear with a well-fitted blouse for that polished look we're after. Now, let's drape it slowly:
- Get the basics right: Make sure you secure your petticoat tightly around your waist; otherwise, the whole saree look is going to get ruined really quickly! Now tuck the inner end of the saree into your petticoat on your right side.
- Creating the pleats: This is where the magic happens! Count about 1-1.5 meters of the saree and start making pleats. We recommended only about 5-7 pleats with about 5 inches of space in between each pleat on a Tussar Silk saree. The natural stiffness of Tussar helps this pleat hold beautifully as well.
- Perfect front pleats: Hold all your pleats in your hand and give them a quick press with your hands before tucking them into your petticoat just a little left of your navel.
- Pallu shaping: Pallu can be pleated neatly if you want it to look more formal, or even become a little loose if you want it more casual. Either way, use a safety pin and secure your shoulder with it.
Finally, adjust the drape length as necessary so that it flows and just shows a little bit of your ankles.
