The Science of Draping: How to Look Taller and Leaner

Visual Engineering

The way you drape can change your body proportions.

• The Pleat Placement: For a slimmer look, keep the pleats small and centered.

• The Pallu Length: A longer pallu (reaching the back of your knees) creates a vertical line that adds height.

• The Fabric Choice: If you want to reduce volume, choose Chiffon-Satin or Crepe. If you want to add presence, choose Kanjivaram or Organza.
