Does your closet overflow with kurtas right
around the festive season,
and yet, it feels like you haven’t given it
your fashionable best?
You’re not alone!
While these conventional classics will never lose their charm,
what’s better than a few ways to give them a stylish spin
with the help of some unique dupatta drapes?
So let’s get draping!
Want to be more hands-on even with your favourite kurta sets?
This drape is going to be a clear winner!
For an interesting cowl,
drape one end of your dupatta over your shoulder.
Let there be enough fabric so that the dupatta end can reach your back.
Now pin the dupatta at the shoulder after you make a pleat.
Invisible pin the loose end at your side.
Next, bring the other end of the dupatta from the back, also to the front,
on the same shoulder.
Make sure you have enough fabric at the side
for a voluminous cowl and pin it.
Who knew 4 simple steps could give you such a pretty drape!
Pleats are not just for sarees,
here's how they can completely turn around
the look of any kurta.
Use a contrasting, embellished dupatta
to amp up a simple anarkali kurta.
Drape your dupatta over your shoulder, at a comfortable length.
Pin your dupatta from the front and back at your waist.
Make pleats on your shoulder,
pushing some fabric back with every pleat.
This will give your drape a cascading effect.
Now finally, pin this to your shoulder and let your dupatta steal the show!
Don’t you just love a classic, straight kurta?
Not only does it suit most body types,
it’s also a golden opportunity for a cool tucking drape!
Who said your silk dupattas are too stiff for a unique drape?
It’s time to bust that myth!
For this drape, make sure your kurta has a long enough slit.
Start by pleating one side of your dupatta.
Drape it over your shoulder and pin it,
ensuring you have enough fabric at the back.
Now tuck the remaining end of your dupatta
in your bottoms through your kurta slit.
Tuck the loose end of your dupatta with a small pin.
Unique, yet so wearable!
Time for a quick reverse tucking trick!
Let’s start with the front tuck for this one.
Bring to the front, one end of your dupatta
over your shoulder, enough to reach your kurta slit.
After tucking it to your bottoms,
very similar to the previous drape,
bring it over from the back to your other side and drape it on your arm.
What’s more?
You can easily adjust the length of the dupatta in the front as you like it.
So if your dupatta has the prettiest embellishments that are worth showing off,
you’ll be obsessed with this drape in no time!
Now the cape dupatta is quite the versatile fashion favourite.
But a little style upgrade can never hurt, right?
Once you have your cape dupatta draped,
This will give the dupatta the look of a sleeve,
a cowl at the back and a quirky twist to your look.
This drape, with a short kurti and dhoti pants
or a straight kurta is exactly what you need
for an easy yet chic look.
So let your dupattas
have the limelight with these
unique, showstopping drapes.
Don’t forget let us know which one was your absolute favourite!
Until next time, stay tuned & stay Glamrs!
