A step-by-step guide on how to drape a saree gujarati style!Step-by-step instructions

Start with the Petticoat and Blouse
Tie your petticoat securely at your waist.
Put on your blouse. Ensure the blouse ends just below the midriff and the back is smooth.
Make sure the saree length is comfortable to walk in (generally 5.5 to 6.5 meters depending on style and height).

Tuck the Saree at the Right Side
Stand with feet together.
Take the plain end of the saree (the end with the border, not the pallu) and tuck it into the right side of the petticoat, about 4-5 inches from the bottom.
Tuck uniformly as you wrap around your waist once to create a snug base.

Wrap the Saree Around the Waist
Bring the saree around your waist from the right to the left once, making a full circle.
Ensure the lower edge of the saree just touches the floor or ankles, depending on your height and preference.
The tucked portion should stay secure; you may pin it lightly to keep it in place.

Make the Pleats (for the Gujarati style, this is slight variation)
Make multiple evenly-sized pleats (typically 8-12 depending on width) from the remaining plain end.
Hold the pleats together and tuck them into the center front of the waist, just below your navel, with the pleats facing left.
The left side of the saree should form a clean, flat edge at the front.

Drape the Pallu Over the Left Shoulder
Take the remaining length of the saree (the pallu) from the left side, bringing it over the left shoulder.
The pallu should be pleated or left flowy, depending on preference and fabric weight.
Let the pallu fall over the left shoulder and reach down to about knee or calf level, or as desired.

Tuck the Pallu at the Back (Gujarati Style)
Tuck the pleated portion of the pallu into the left side of your waist, near the back, ensuring the pleats are facing outward or to the side for a decorative look.
Leave the end of the pallu to drape gracefully over the shoulder, or keep it tucked slightly for a neater silhouette.

Fix with Pins
Place a few safety pins to secure:
At the waist where the pleats meet the petticoat
At the shoulder where the pallu is draped
If needed, along the edge of the pallu to keep the pleats neat
Ensure pins do not snag the fabric and are discreet.

Adjust and Check
Stand straight and walk a few steps to test the drape.
Ensure the saree length is even and the border sits well at the bottom.
Adjust the pallu length and pleat crispness as desired.
Check the back to ensure the pallu is tucked evenly and securely.

Tips for Gujarati drape
Gujarati saree drapes are typically more fixed and pleated on the left side with a prominent pallu on the right/left shoulder depending on region.
Heavier fabrics like brocade will hold pleats better; lighter fabrics may require more pins.
Accessorize with bangles and a necklace to complement the look.
Practice makes perfect: start with a shorter pallu and gradually adjust to your preferred length.

Quick visual reference (textual guide)
Right side: Tuck end into the right side of the petticoat.
Around waist: Wrap once around to left.
Pleats: Create even pleats in the remaining fabric and tuck at the center front.
Pallu: Drape over the left shoulder, bring to the back, and tuck slightly for stability.
