Ready-to-Wear Sarees

Ready-to-Wear Sarees - frequently asked questions

What is a ready to wear saree?

A ready-to-wear saree is pre-pleated and drape-stitched before it reaches you. The front pleats are folded and secured, the fall is set and the pallu is finished at a fixed length. You pull it on like a skirt, fasten it at the waist and set the pallu, which takes under a minute instead of the usual fifteen or twenty.

How do you wear a one minute saree?

Put the stitched blouse on first. Pull the pre-pleated saree on the way you would a skirt and bring it to your natural waist. Fasten it, check the hem sits level just off the floor with your footwear on, then bring the pallu over the shoulder and pin it once. The pleats need no arranging.

Is a ready to wear saree comfortable to wear all day?

It is generally more comfortable than a traditional drape because there is no tucked bulk at the waist and nothing loosens as you move. The trade-off is that nothing can be adjusted either: if the waist or length is not right for you, it will stay not right all evening. Check the measurements before ordering.

What is the difference between a ready to wear saree and a normal saree?

A normal saree is one uncut length of cloth you pleat and drape yourself each time, so it adapts to your height and can be tied in any regional style. A ready-to-wear saree is stitched into its pleats at the factory, so it goes on in under a minute but keeps one fixed drape, one fixed length and one pleat depth.

Does a ready to wear saree come with a blouse?

Yes. All 27 listings in this category include a stitched blouse, cut to 38 inches with a margin allowing it to be let out to 42, and 18 also list a belt among the accessories. Some listings add a cape, a poncho, ruffle or crushed sleeves, or a second blouse, and the product page states which one applies.

Can a ready to wear saree be altered?

Only within limits. The blouse has margin to be let out to a 42-inch bust, so that part is adjustable by a tailor. The saree itself is not: the pleats are sewn at a set depth and the length is fixed, so it cannot be lengthened, and shortening it would cut through the pleat stitching and the border.

How much does a ready to wear saree cost at Vpnam?

The 27 listings run from ₹2,699 to ₹7,099, with the middle near ₹4,699. The nine at ₹2,699 are pure satin silk with one technique named, usually sequence embroidery or beadwork. Above ₹5,000 the listings add handwork, pearl, mirror and zardosi. Every one includes a stitched blouse and 18 add a belt.

Is a ready to wear saree good for travel?

It suits travel better than any other saree format. It packs already pleated, so there is no floor space needed to lay out and fold a drape in a hotel room, and no helper required. Hang it on arrival rather than leaving it folded in the bag, because the sewn pleats hold their shape best when they are not compressed.
