Saree Size Guide

Everything you need to know about saree measurements and styling

Standard Saree Measurements

All sarees from Premam Silks come in standard measurements unless otherwise specified on the product page:

• Saree Length: 5.5 meters (approximately 6 yards), including the pallu.
• Saree Width: 1.1 to 1.2 meters (approximately 44-47 inches).
• Blouse Piece: 0.8 meters (approximately 32 inches) of unstitched blouse material is included with each saree.

Choosing the Right Saree

While sarees are one-size-fits-most, choosing the right fabric and drape can enhance your look based on your body type:

• Petite Frame: Opt for lightweight silks with smaller borders and delicate patterns. Avoid very heavy or stiff fabrics that may overwhelm your frame.
• Tall Frame: You can carry heavy Kanjivaram and Banarasi sarees beautifully. Wide borders and bold patterns complement your height.
• Curvy Frame: Choose sarees with vertical patterns or thin borders for an elongating effect. Soft draping fabrics like Mysore silk work wonderfully.
• Slim Frame: Sarees with rich textures, wide borders, and heavy pallu add volume and elegance. Kanjivaram sarees are an excellent choice.

Draping Styles

The beauty of a saree lies in how you drape it. Here are the most popular draping styles:

• Nivi Drape: The most common and widely worn style. The saree is wrapped around the waist, with the pallu draped over the left shoulder. Suitable for all occasions and body types.
• Gujarati Style: Similar to the Nivi drape, but the pallu is brought from the back over the right shoulder and then draped across the front. Often worn during festivals and weddings.
• Maharashtrian Style: The saree is draped like a dhoti with the pallu pinned at the back. This style is elegant and allows for ease of movement. Traditional for Maharashtrian celebrations.

Blouse Measurements

If you are ordering a custom-stitched blouse, please provide the following measurements for the perfect fit:

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the bust.
• Waist: Measure around the natural waistline.
• Shoulder Width: Measure from one shoulder edge to the other across the back.
• Sleeve Length: Measure from the shoulder to your desired sleeve length.
• Blouse Length: Measure from the shoulder to where you want the blouse to end.
• Arm Circumference: Measure around the fullest part of the upper arm.
