Chiffon or net is a little transparent tend to show off the skin underneath. Fabrics like brocade silk, crepe, printed georgettes and thick cotton are your friends. Madhuri is looking gorgeous in a brocade silk saree, along with the open pallu – just what we needed.
4. Drapes Can Transform The Look!

Sonam wisely chooses to hang her pallu lose, showing off her kediya blouse. If you’re covering the saree in a regular pallu while wearing a long blouse, you might look broader!
5. Draw Attention Elsewhere!

The key to taking away attention from certain body parts is by drawing attention somewhere else. We’re intrigued by the extra gathers at the hemline instead of ordinary pleats. The pallu covers the mid area gracefully and the open back adds the sexiness to it!
6. Layer It Up With A Cape Or A Jacket!

With all this going on the outfit, nobody will be focusing on the stomach area. It looks hot and so unique!
