Ready-to-wear saree eliminates the major difficulty of the traditional way of draping pins, pleats, and ten-minute ordeal in front of the mirror before you go out of the house. However, just because you have one does not necessarily mean you are using it at its fullest. There is a list of few hacks which will help you in getting a ready-to-wear saree which stays in place throughout the day and does not need frequent adjustments after the second hour.

These are hacks which stylists use not styling inspirations, but hacks that help solving practical issues, such as slipped pallu, incorrect fabric choice for the season, wrong blouses, and the mess while packing before the trip.

None of these hacks requires any special skills or additional shopping. Most of them will take less than a minute, and the effect of these hacks will be seen not in the last five minutes before going out, but hours into the event.

Hack 1: Match Fabric to the Room, Not Just the Season

While choosing saree material based on the climate outside, most of us forget to take into consideration where we will actually be wearing the material.

Georgette and Chiffon sarees allow proper ventilation and are non clingy, which makes them perfect for hot and outdoor functions, or for daytime functions lasting a while.
Silk blends make great indoor and air-conditioned materials, but can be very cumbersome when worn in humid and non-air-conditioned conditions.
Net sarees with a lining are somewhere in between lightweight and comfortable, yet structured enough to be worn in the evenings.

This simple change of looking at the place before checking the weather is crucial for avoiding many discomforts during the event.

Hack 2: Let the Blouse Do the Heavy Lifting

As the saree is draped and pleated by the designer herself in ready-to-wear sarees, it leaves the blouse as the only option where you get the freedom to decide how to style the saree. Utilize this.

Contrasting color of blouse will make your saree look very stylish rather than a monotonous piece in pictures.
Sleeveless or cold shoulder blouses complement heavy and heavily embroidered sarees in a very beautiful manner.
Sarees that are lightweight and shimmering will look great with a high neck full sleeve blouse.

This is the one decision which has the power to change the entire vibe of the ready-to-wear saree.

Hack 3: Pin the Pallu Before You Need To

By far, the biggest problem that happens to ready-to-wear sarees is one where the pallu falls during the event typically just before taking a picture or just before sitting down to eat. This can easily be solved in ten seconds and needs to be done prior to leaving the house, not after the first fall.

This involves clipping a little safety pin on the shoulder seam where the pallu joins the blouse. If your saree has a long/ heavy pallu, then an additional clip needs to be fixed lower down, close to the waist.

This small detail becomes even more relevant for ready-to-wear sarees as the pre-pleated nature of the saree requires that it be maintained in a particular shape - it becomes difficult to set the pallu in place once it has slipped unlike a traditional saree which can be put back into place with a simple pin.

Hack 4: Choose the Right Layer Underneath

The fabric worn underneath a ready-made saree influences its flow far more than many people imagine. A mismatch between the undergarment fabric and that of the saree will result in visible lines, puckering, and uneven flow.

Fabric as light as georgette or chiffon would look best with a snug and seamless shapewear piece instead of a stiffer petticoat.

For fabrics as heavy as silk-blends, a structured petticoat is ideal to keep the set pleats of the saree intact during a prolonged period of time.

Net sarees have a tendency to reveal the undergarment fabric, so a matching color choice may be beneficial.

Hack 5: Pack It So It Doesn't Need Re-Ironing

One of the subtle benefits of a ready-to-wear saree is its better travel performance when compared to the conventional drape, as long as it is packed properly. Rolling is more important than folding in terms of preventing deep wrinkles, particularly in materials like shimmery and net materials that are prone to wrinkling more than other fabrics.

When traveling for extended periods, using a garment bag instead of storing the saree directly in the suitcase helps prevent compression from heavy objects above. Using steam to remove any wrinkles upon arriving instead of an iron ensures no harm to any decoration or embroidery.

Hack 6: Build a Two-Saree Wedding Wardrobe, Not a One-Saree Wardrobe

If you are going to attend a multi function wedding, avoid wearing the same saree at all events. The heavier saree that works for the ceremony does not work well during the day, and the lighter saree that works during the day will be too light at an evening reception. It is better to wear two carefully selected sarees that work at a particular event instead of a single piece that has to be stretched on all functions.

Besides fashion related issues, this tip helps you deal with the uncomfortable situation when wearing the same heavier saree during the whole multi-functional wedding gets boring by the last event.

Where These Hacks Apply in Practice

These hacks work well with real materials and colors in some examples.

Coral Orange Saree works very well during the day time its bright and warm color is not affected by daylight and would do well in fabric to room hack when used in outdoor or daytime events.

Maharani Deep Plum Saree uses richer and deeper tones and is better suited for the evening time where layering hack becomes important the structured petticoat worn underneath helps to maintain draping properties of the deeper color.

Bottle Green Sleeveless Blouse Saree uses blouse hack right away its sleeveless design allows using richer bottle green tone and shows how much difference can be made by choosing a blouse.
