Hello, beautiful ladies! If you have ever felt a bit intimidated by the thought of carrying a saree, particularly while looking for plus-size sarees, then let me tell you, you are not alone. But trust me, if you can grab the right piece, a saree can be your best friend, featuring your curves in the most gorgeous way possible. 

        These timeless attires are not only a harbinger of grace and elegance but also an epitome of cultural pride. However, for plus-size women, it might be a challenge to find a saree that looks good and at the same time makes you feel comfortable while wearing it. At Meera's Plus Size Store, we strive to ensure that every woman is confident and fashionable in every fold she wears. Dressing up for a wedding or choosing something light for daily glamour, this guide is here to assist you in choosing the right plus-size saree that matches your mass, mood, and moment.

What to Look for in Plus-Size Sarees: Key Features

Choosing an ideal saree goes beyond colour and design. It takes time and effort to get your hands on the perfect piece. The presentation and poise of a saree is a matter of fabric and drape. So let's get started on the quest. Here are a few essentials to consider while selecting the saree that makes you look like royalty. First things first, fabric!

• Fabric: 

When you are particularly looking for lightweight sarees for curvy women, go with flowy and lightweight breathable fabrics such as cotton, georgette, chiffon, and soft silk. While they drape well and provide comfort with style, the best part is, they do not bring excessive bulk to your body.

• Structured Drapes: 

It is highly recommended to always choose designs that produce a defined waistline and furnish you with a sleek silhouette. For instance, the Dewy Orchid Purple Pure Tissue Silk Embroidered Drape Saree. Its tissue silk material provides a fine drape that flatters your natural shapes and promises breathability with ease.

• Length & Width: 

No matter how beautiful an outfit looks, if it does not bring along the right fit to you, it is of no use. While selecting a saree, make sure it has sufficient length and width for a comfy and complete drape. Opt to try it once before finalizing, else you may end up bearing extreme disappointment at the crucial time. 

• Prints: 

Experts suggest that smaller prints or vertical patterns turn out to be more flattering than others. Thus, it is advisable to check for the prints and patterns when you are up for deciding on the final dress. 

• Borders: 

Borders are an important element of a saree. Medium-width borders are usually considered ideal. For a subtle and sophisticated look, try avoiding sarees with extremely thin and very wide border lines.

• Pre-draped Options: 

If you are also among those who struggle to wear a saree, then a plus size pre-draped saree can be an excellent option for you. Since they come with great convenience in wearing and offer a structure to the garment, you can consider them for occasions when you need to look absolutely stunning but are short of time. 

Flattering Saree Draping Styles for Plus-Size Women

The way you drape your saree can make a whole lot of difference. It can simply do wonders. A well-draped saree can create a defined waistline and achieve a balanced look. You can test several styles to see what will work for your body type. 

• The Classic Nivi Style: The timeless Nivi style with slim pleats or open flowy pallu is among those few traditional styles that suit nearly everyone and complements all body types. It is one of the most sought-after saree draping styles that begins with tucking at the waist and leaves the pallu hanging behind the left shoulder. You can have this easy and basic style for everyday comfort.

• Mermaid Drape: Catch the trendy mermaid saree draping style for an upcoming party night or a wedding celebration. While it drapes your legs tightly, it flares out at the bottom. Though it accentuates your curves in all the right places, make sure to go with a light fabric such as chiffon or georgette. 

• The Seedha Pallu Style: When you want to flaunt the fine handwork and detailing of your saree, go with the front pallu, aka seedha pallu style. It not only showcases the rich embroidery and intricate craftsmanship of the attire but also assists in elongating your profile.

• The Butterfly Style: This flared silhouette style is another modern way of draping a saree. If you want to embrace a unique yet feminine vibe for an event, pick this style. The butterfly saree draping style is known for forming a narrower shape to the wearer and works well with georgette, chiffon, silk, and crepe sarees.
