How to Tie a Saree: Nivi Style

The Nivi style is today's most popular sari style. The Nivi saree was popularized through the paintings of Raja Ravi Varma by modifying the South Indian saree called mundum neriyathum. In one of his painting, the Indian subcontinent was shown as a mother wearing a flowing Nivi saree. Gujarati style differs from the Nivi only in the manner that the loose end is handled. In this style, the loose end is draped over the right shoulder rather than the left, and is also draped back-to-front rather than the other way around.

I've seen some scenes that refered to the saree drop.Basically,women had their top part of the saree fall and exposed the blouse and/or navel,and it really seemed to be a big deal...Why is that?I don't get it...why is the saree ON any different than the saree OFF??YOU CAN SEE THE SAME THING...it's very thin anyway...and it doesn't cover all that much...please,if anyone has ideas on this...

@m7rigia I wondered if a safety pin was involved!!! I can wrap a length of cloth around me and it's forever coming undone. lol This is fun.

I've wondered for years upon years how these women tie these dresses! I'd see ones overseas and wonder how they stayed up! I'm fluffy and when I saw ladies that were heavier wearing these I'd wondered the same thing. I mean some of my old skirts would end up sideways at the end of the day. lol I'd love to have one of these or more. They are so beautiful. :) Thanks for posting this! Salute.
