This exotic look is created by using 4 saris. In our example we used 2 solid and 2 sheer pieces. I've mentioned the colors here only to differentiate between the layers. You, of course, will choose your own colors and styles!
Our first sari (silver) is wrapped high on the chest and then tied by the top 2 ends into a double knot behind the back. Pull the knot tight enough to fit close to the body and stay in place securely.
We tied the next sari (pink) around the shoulders to tie in front with the knot hanging loosely at the chest. Tuck the ends into the skirt as shown.
The outer skirt (striped) comes next by tying the top 2 corners around the chest with a double knot in front. Tuck the ends into the skirt for a more finished look. You can even grab the bottom 2 corners of the top (pink) and tuck it into the skirt in back to create this open sleeve look.
For the head wrap a long sari works best. Our's is made by centering the narrow end of the fabric (white) around the forehead and tying behind the neck. Flip it back over the head so that the length flows down the back. Loosely throw the remaining length over and around the shoulders and neck as in photo above.
For another fun variation you can tie a turban. Using the narrow side of a sari place around the forehead and tie in back at the neck. Flip it over to drape down the back and then begin to twist and wrap around the head. Tuck the end up under one of the twists leaving a tail to fall down to the side.
