Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror draping your favourite saree that looked just perfect on the mannequin at the showroom? Yet when you look at yourself wearing the same beautiful piece you’re left with nothing but self-loathing and a fake oath to hit the gym right the next day?
Well, its time you give yourself some credit for the hard work you pay to your family neglecting your curves and ending up with a body you can no more flaunt a saree with.
* A saree gets most of its beauty in the way you drape and carry it. A drape that doesn’t suit your body or looks too clumsy on you will definitely make heads turn but in a different way!!!
* Big prints definitely make you go crazy, but wait a minute,you need to stop buying them. You can look slimmer with the same contours by going in for smaller prints and designs or embroideries that are not spread too much on your saree.
* If you notice carefully, whenever fat women wear broad borders, their curves get accentuated even more. Broad border is a complete no for women who are healthy or have too much weight. Go for sarees without borders or subtle borders so that they can flow along you and not make you appear voluminous.
* Colours have a big influence on the weight your attire reflects on you. Dark colours are often big saviours for both very thin or very fat people. Go for black or pastel violet for instance, your overflowing weight is suddenly pacified!!!
* Choose the fabrics that clung to your body and hug you naturally. Airier fabrics like south cotton or south silk make you look even plump as they add volume while draping. Pick up lighter fabrics like georgette, crepe, satin or chiffon.
