Drapes From Across The Country To Up Your Sari Game
A sari dons many roles in all our lives. As generations embrace the beloved garment in its many avataars, it has evolved into one of the most versatile garments.
The Sari Series by Border&Fall is an attempt to culturally document the diversity of drapes prevalent in the country from the shores of Visakhapatnam to the hills of Jharkhand. This digital anthology with over 80 how-to-drape videos attempts to make the sari “more accessible to all as an idea, ideal, drape, textile, inspiration or otherwise”.

The jumpsuit has become a wardrobe staple for many but attempting to find the perfect fit can be a daunting task. Why not drape the ever-forgiving sari in lieu, for that perfect fit? Spin the fabric in a style that lets you shake on the dancefloor or run that marathon with surprising ease:
Kuchipudi Drape - Andhra Pradesh
A style favoured by dancers from central Andhra Pradesh, this drape allows for adventures on a bike or a brisk morning of errands. Drape a 9-yard sari for even better mobility.
Kalsi Dance Drape
The best drape to hit the dancefloor. This style from Goa will ensure you dance away the evening in your favourite Ajrakh silk.
Chodhri Drape
From Gujarat, another unique style to add to your repertoire. Play frisbee under open skies with this built-in hat to beat summer’s harsh rays.
Bhootheyara Drape
This drape which ends in a bow, worn by the nomadic ceremonial performers of northern Karnataka, is perfect to stand out at a formal event.
Yakshagana Drape
A drape worn by male characters of the Yakshagana Theatre of southern and coastal Karnataka. Great for audiences as well, lounge or gaze in rapt attention as the drama unfolds.
