The Belted Drape
Want to wear your kanjeevaram for a welcome brunch but with a little modern styling? Why not opted for the belted drape? This one entails you wearing the saree in any drape you like and then clutching it at the waist with a leather or a metallic belt. It instantly gives a cinched look at the waist without the need of a traditional kamarband.
The Triangular Drape
