There are many problems and solutions associated with sari pleating for some folks. Personally, I find that it’s a very easy task if you just put your mind to it. It’s hard to understand how a woman can have fancy degrees and be highly “intelligent” but can’t make simple pleats. Where there is a will there is a way and all it takes is some effort.

However, there are many non-pleating required options such as lengha/ghagra saris, pre-pleated saris, automatic saris, and sari pleating tools! Lengha saris don’t have pleats and just require tucking. Pre-pleated saris have pleats sewn together and sometimes you can tell that they’re fake but sometimes you can’t.

Automatic saris are regular saris that you give to a tailor to pleat for you and add some clips and such so you don’t have to make the pleats every time. There are also sari pleating tools. They’re devices that you use to pleat saris. Will give more details on that another time!

Lengha saris were introduced last year but did not make it to popularity as much as expected. This is a strange thing since more and more girls have resorted to “automatic” and pre-pleated saris. (more…)
