Style Guide: How to Drape a Saree Like a Modern-Day Maharani

The saree, a timeless symbol of Indian elegance, has seen countless reinventions over the decades. But today’s modern-day Maharani doesn’t just wear a saree—she owns it. At Geroo Jaipur, we believe that every woman deserves to feel regal, radiant, and rooted in heritage while expressing her personal style. Whether you’re attending a festive celebration or styling a saree for a modern soirée, here’s your definitive guide to draping it with grace and grandeur.

1. Embrace the Fabric of Royalty

To look and feel like a modern Maharani, begin by choosing the right fabric. Geroo Jaipur’s handcrafted sarees are created in pure Kota silk, Chanderi, chiffon, and organza, each offering a distinct drape and texture.

  • Kota Silk Sarees are breezy yet luxurious, perfect for daytime elegance.

  • Hand-dyed Chiffon Sarees add a romantic flair with their soft fall.

  • Chanderi Sarees with Gota Patti work beautifully for evening functions and wedding rituals.

  • Organza Sarees with Hand Embroidery make a statement with their structured finesse.

Each saree from our collection reflects the soul of Rajasthan—crafted by skilled artisans, detailed with hand embroidery, mukaish work, and delicate embellishments that echo old-world charm.

2. Pick the Right Drape for the Occasion

Modern styling allows you to experiment beyond the traditional Nivi drape. Here are a few contemporary ways to carry your Geroo Jaipur saree:

– The Belted Drape:

Pair your hand-embroidered saree with a statement belt to define your waist. Ideal for cocktail events, this style combines tradition with couture appeal.

– The Lehenga Style:

Create the illusion of a lehenga by tucking in the pleats all around and keeping the pallu free-flowing. Try this with our ruffled sarees or those with wider borders for a fuller look.

– The Cape Drape:

Add a dramatic embroidered cape (as seen in some of our lehenga sets) over your saree. It’s the ultimate blend of regality and bold modernity.

– The Front Pallu:

Bring your pallu to the front and pin it over the shoulder for a structured and formal appearance—perfect with heavily embellished Gota or mirror work sarees.

3. Blouse Matters—A Lot!

Your blouse can make or break your look. At Geroo Jaipur, we offer customised blouse options and unstitched blouse pieces that can be styled as you wish.

  • For a royal vibe, opt for high-neck blouses with embroidery or mukaish work.

  • For contemporary flair, choose sleeveless, backless, or cape-style blouses.

  • Mix fabrics like jacquard, velvet, or handwoven cotton-silk blends for added depth.

4. Accessories to Complete the Look

No Maharani look is complete without the right accessories.

  • Jewellery: Choose Kundan, Polki, or statement chokers with matching jhumkas or earrings. Our sarees pair beautifully with heritage jewellery.

  • Hair & Makeup: Keep it elegant with a sleek bun adorned with flowers or go for soft waves. A bold bindi and kohl-rimmed eyes can tie the whole look together.

5. Geroo Jaipur Styling Tips

Our collections are rooted in timeless elegance, but we also celebrate individuality. Whether you're shopping our lightweight summer sarees or festive, heavily embellished styles, here’s how to create a head-turning look:

  • For day weddings: Style a pastel hand-dyed saree with delicate jewellery and a braided bun.

  • For receptions: Pick a rich jewel-toned chiffon saree with a structured blouse and diamond accessories.

  • For festivals or pujas: Our Chanderi and Gota work sarees are graceful, breathable, and steeped in tradition.

Each saree from Geroo Jaipur promises impeccable fit, luxurious fabric, and artisanal craftsmanship, letting you make a statement without saying a word.

6. Don’t Forget the Confidence

The final, most important touch to draping your saree like a Maharani? Your confidence.

At Geroo Jaipur, we don’t just sell sarees—we offer stories woven in thread. Stories of the women who wear them, the artisans who create them, and the heritage they represent.

Saree Draping Hacks for Every Body Type

A saree is a versatile garment that flatters all body types when draped the right way. Petite women can opt for smaller pleats and higher draping to look taller, while curvy figures shine in lightweight fabrics and monochrome styles. Tall and slim women can add volume with broader pleats and bold prints, while pear-shaped bodies balance proportions with statement blouses and higher pallu draping. For apple-shaped figures, longer pallus, diagonal drapes, and darker shades create a slimming effect.

No matter the body type, smart pinning, proper footwear, and the right accessories make a world of difference. At Geroo Jaipur, our handcrafted sarees—featuring hand-dyes, embroidery, and timeless embellishments—are designed to help every woman drape with confidence, elegance, and grace.
