One way to tie a sari is to use a double knot. Where and how you tie the knot depends on the look you're trying to achieve. Knots tied close to the body create a straight look or they can be loosely tied to drape.
Besides tying the material itself, another way to secure a sari would be to fold the top over a sash and then tie it onto the body by the sash. This allows for more flow and abundant folds.
This fun look was created using a hair band instead of tying the ends. Wrap the elastic around the fabric just as you would a pony tail and pull some through to form a bow. This makes it easier for small hands that struggle to tie as well.
You can also tie onto an existing piece as show here. This created a beautiful train down the back of the dress. It would also work great for a cape.
You can also use safety pins to secure each piece in place if you are planning on wearing your design out for the day. With that added step you will be set for any fair, party, or even a ball!
We've even just tucked into existing clothing or under another layer to hold in place while putting everything together. This would eventually be secured by a top layer that is tied or pinned to hold.
