My first time officialy experience wearing a saree was when I had to get ready for my farewell in highschool, that day I realised that wearing a saree not just for fun but now professionally is quite difficult,
I realised I couldn't do it all by myself so I took help from my friend mom, she drape me the saree but all according to me as I wanted, I wanted it below naval as also I was wearing heels that day, I wanted my plates to get all good and sequenced, but later I realised those plates really are a big deal to handle ?
At home while playing just for fun we used to drape our sarees above the naval but to show plates on sequence I guessed that we have to wear it below naval and so from now on no matter if I have to go through a little extra hard work for maintaining my saree while I am wearing it professionally but I always prefer it to be below naval only !
I hope you get a little real life experience by this , hope to see your response soon !
