Tamil IYENGAR - Nine Yard/ Madisar -- How to drape a 9 Yard saree

[@shreejavijaydurai3053]

Smrithi :) this video just made my day literally. I’m newly married and was struggling to tie a madisar properly and I had to depend on someone. I just followed your instructions and it was just so perfect and my grandmom was just so shocked to see me wear a perfect madisar with zero experience. I’m so thankful and just loved the way you narrated and fits too well and stands for hours. Thanks a lot Smrithi for this beautiful video 😊

[@smrithirajagopal]

shreeja vijaydurai Happy to help! :)

[@nandini4190]

Very clear and methodical way of tying the Madisar. Stay blessed

[@sudharavi4213]

Hii smrithi happened to watch this video posted long back but it was so useful for me ...thanks...my son's engagement went on last week and I wore madisaar with the help of this video,and got appreciation from all my relatives ,it was so intact and comfortable for me that I didn't feel like removing after the function too...thanks again 🙏

[@soupsam5]

its superb! i have been made to jump like a rabbit time and again. will learn it with this video!! thanx!

[@sumavraghavan]

This is an awesome tutorial. I am married but never ever had a try on wearing the madisar at all. Now that my daughter has a fancy dress competition at school and it’s traditional brides and grooms and no readymade dress. Since being Iyengar I would like her to look as an Iyengar bride and this video has helped me indeed so much for both me and my daughter. Cheers and lots of love.

[@lalithasreedhar7726]

Very very thanks. It helps a lot of people struggling to wear madisar Saree especially like me. Now I learnt how. Clearly explained. Thanks a lot. Even from 6 yards it is useful.

[@smrithirajagopal]

Thank you!

EXCELLENT Video. I am happy I found it atleast today. This will be my go to video for tying a madisar podavai. And, it is very similar to how my moms and chittis have draped it for me except for so many securities and precautions shown. Neverthless, I am sure this will be very useful for amateurs. Great JOB and thanks much.

Thanks I have been fascinated by these lovely outfits since I was a little girl and a Missionary let me try hers on. They are so pretty and feminine. I know have two Saris to my name and quite a few salwar kameez although I know they are from Northern India they are just so easy and comfortable and you can get some awesome girly outfits. Anyway thanks for the draping lesson.

[@smrithirajagopal]

Thank you!

[@Gaya3V]

Awesome video. Excellent explanation. Thanks a lot for making this video.

[@PadmaIyenghar5]

Great job guys. Do you know if it's just sufficient to do the few last steps on the other side to drape the saree FINALLY ON THE LEFT SIDE of the shoulder. ? Iyengar style but left side finish.?

[@smrithirajagopal]

I am assuming you want the saree to go over the right shoulder instead of the left. Like a mirror image? More like how Iyers wear it? If thats what you mean, starting step 23 you would have to do everything in the opposite direction. You will have to bring the kacham clock-wise to the front and go around to the back. Bring it back to the front, drape it on your right shoulder and then bring the pallu forward in clockwise fashion and tuck it in at the right side of the waist. Hope I answered your question.

[@rajsri40]

Simple way of your explanations & beautiful way of videograph makes this video very attractive. This method (Kothu Vangara) is very helpful and convenient! Thanks for the post! Wonderful job!!

[@sara1012s]

Hi smrithi thank you so much. I have watched all your videos. I am a malayalee but married to a tamil iyer. My inlaws have said to wear normal saree as i know only that way for functions but I am planning to wear this to surprise them.

[@tresavk8068]

sara s Iyer Madisar Saree drape is different. This video is for Tamil Iyengar saree.

[@sara1012s]

Oh I didn't knew that. I have watched many such videos some are easy some very hard. I thnk on final day i ll be wearing a fusion of everything.

[@smrithirajagopal]

sara s In that case, in the final steps, just make sure to drape the saree over your right shoulder instead of left, keeping everything else the same. It still won’t be authentic iyer madisar but would be similar.

[@smrithirajagopal]

sara s All the best and let me know how it goes!

[@priyapanikar4189]

Very clear explanation with useful tips Smrithi. I need help with Iyer style. Is it possible for you to do one video for the same pls. Thanks in advance

[@nirmalagopalachari7921]

Excellent way of wearing.it wil never fall i mean open

[@rajanibhat3334]

Thanks for an awesome and descriptive video. I wanted to know if we can have pleats for the pallu rather than just draping it. I know this is more authentic but just so as to have minimal interference because of the pallu.

[@smrithirajagopal]

Sure! Just make sure not to pin the top pleates too tight. Might make the saree tight around the legs.

[@radhika1339]
