Wow!! I'm quite embarrassed about the comments below! If you didnt want to watch it, you didnt have to. No-one forced you to!! Plus, I thought she gave really good instructions and she did say where she made a mistake!! Some people can be so rude!!! :S

Thanks for the support! I made this video last year for my friend Hilary, never expected it to get 100,000 page views. Never mind the rude comments. Just goes to show the digital age we live in... I guess I figure if I helped even a few people get the hang of it, then the haters can say what they need to say to feel good about themselves. HAHA!

I agree, just because she is white and not Indian attempting to put on a sari and TEACH people how to do it, is not a reason to insult them...how ethnocentric

Hey, I heard about this product called Sari Saheli pleatmaker which is a tool to tie your pleats and palla. So, if you are a amateur like me and dont know how to wear a saree, just order this Pleatmaker machine from sarisaheli website and draping a saree becomes so much easier. The also have magnetic clips to hold the saree on their website which completely replace those safety pins which poke our hands and sarees. I really works, try it !!!!!

by the way some women take the loose end and pull it over the head for a nice look others wrap i taround the shoulders for a layered effect others pin it with a few pleats at the shoulder so it drapes others just pin the shoulder area for a nice looking drape its soo versitile!!

@Marya1997 actually it is one of the correct ways to wear one there are all types o fstyles from all over the world!! its a piece of cloth that you wrap which makes it versitile!!

@voxlibertatis i have been told im beautiful in anything because of my blue eyes and fare skin!! i hate it when people do this because i find all women beautiful in their own way and skin tone should not dictate beauty! even in marrieges women in india look for light skinned men and visa versa! its not the skin that matters its how you carry yourself in your daily life!

@gujugirl1085 yes some people also forget in some cultures the righ tshoulder means single the left means married and in others right is best because of stigmas with the left and left because o fstigmas with the right!! some people wrap with no shoulder others both so long as you wrap it the way you want to wrap it its fine its a versitile wrap for good reason!!

A lot of evil posts by Indians. Most of u still feel inferior in front of white people.U can't forgive colonialism, u hate us, but u try to copy us. How many western things have u appropriated?The list is too long, so ur posts are ridiculous. The West has given birth to many beautiful women looking good even in sarees. Because of our great white skin and grey eyes we are often invited to advertise ur clothes.Our faces smile from most magazines and banners. So ur words come from powerless anger.
