The Lehenga style Saree is normally 4.5 meters to 5.5 meters long. The method of draping it is quite simple; in fact it is easier than draping a regular Saree. The plain end of the Saree is tucked into the in skirt, making one complete round, similar to wearing a regular Saree. At this point, pleats are formed in a regular Saree whereas when it comes to a Lehenga Style Saree, one continues to tuck in without making any pleats. Here the pleats are replaced with embellished gotas or panels at the front, which imparts a flared silhouette that is characteristic of a Lehenga Style Saree. Finally, the pallu is draped over the shoulder like a regular Saree.
The only difference between a Lehenga style Saree and a regular Saree is that it does not require pleats to be formed at the front. An in skirt and a blouse are indispensable items of clothing that have to be included with this sari. Not all Lehenga Saris are designed in the same way. Few of these saris come with side hooks too. All one need to do is hook it up so that it fits snugly around the waist.
