For the girl who is blessed with proportionate bust and hips and has a slimmer waist, sarees are your best friend. Choose any fabric that highlights your waist, but in dark colours so that the rest of curves are a bit muted. You can work with chiffons, georgette or silks, and make sure the drapes around the bodice are not too elaborate.

7. For The Girl With A Fuller Figure!

Avoid stiff fabrics like cotton and organza and stay away from big broad prints. Stick to chiffons that have tiny motifs all over and more linear prints. Go for deeper necklines like the sweetheart neckline or a V-neck on the blouse and opt for fuller-sleeved blouses. Any fabric that drapes well on the body is better.

Sarees are gorgeous and they make every woman look twice as beautiful. Thus, choose your saree wisely to make the most of this lovely garment!
