It features: • Pleated frills at the waist • The pallu is brought over the left shoulder and often draped in a semi-circular shape at the back, allowing fluid motion Typically worn with a fitted blouse and a matching underskirt, the drape was completed with traditional temple jewelry and fresh flowers in the hair. #desistyle #silksaree #sareedraping #mohiniyattam #kerala #southindian #sareelove
