Never do this to your silk sarees | Dolly Jain saree draping tips

- In today’s video, I want to talk about the sentiment behind a silk saree. It’s a beautiful piece of clothing that holds so much value and meaning. However, there’s something important that we need to address - the excessive use of heat on silk sarees.
Using too much heat on a silk saree can actually damage its shine and lustre. These sarees are delicate and precious, and we invest in them with the intention of passing them down to future generations. But if we continue to iron and subject them to excessive heat, that dream of passing down these sarees may remain just a dream.
It’s crucial for us to understand the significance of preserving these sarees by avoiding unnecessary heat. In my next video, I will be sharing tips on how to properly iron a silk saree, should the need arise. Let’s take care of these beautiful garments so that they can be cherished for years to come.
Wear a silk saree and share your pictures with us, this will help in encouraging the fabulous Indian art of saree draping across the globe.

Whenever ironing silk, my granmothers, always put a slightly damp pure cotton sheet on top of the silk item, and then ironed the cotton sheet with the silk below it. The heat and humidity from the cotton sheet that was being ironed, straighten the creases of the silk item 🎉
Yes I do this
Yes, direct heat is not allowed b’z Zari will turn black , I mean discolour
My mom does the same.Put a cotton dupatta and then iron it above.
But doesn't the steam damage the silk? I had heard it does
That's why I think one is not suppose to wash silk saree
Dolly didi, I am from Bangladesh. My mom gets 100 of Rajshahi silk and mysore silks. She gave me those sarees. And I cherish those like a wealth. Never iron, only sunbath them twice a year. And keep those in cotton bags.
Hello mam,
Yesterday only i bought 4 silk saree for my wedding, thank you for this video.
I have a simple request to you that pls try to mention the fabric of every saree you drape, it will be more helpful in my new journey of this life. I want to wear saree daily after my wedding which is in February 2024.
Need your blessings.
I remember my grandma and mother used to fold the Saree keep it under their pillow to remove wrinkles. I too have tried off late and believe me it really works
Beautifully explained . You are so right . My grandmother never gave her saris for washing or ironing . A broad based tumbler was the way to go ! The quality of silk and pure silver saris were normal . Now neither is generally authentic.
I love your wardrobes and the gesture to give away .
I however am a bit sad that there is so much plastic in the wrapping. Mulmul cloth was used to keep the saris protected from dust and moisture .
I would be shocked if the gen z appreciates the saris of old . Now it’s all super bling and worn just once . 🤷🏼♀️
Mam thank you for the tip. I request you to kindly make a detailed video on how to preserve these delicate sarees. I only dryclean my silk sarees. Still recently my few beautiful Kanjeevaram sarees n also a Paithany saree torn while wearing. I saw the pain in your eyes while making this video. The same pain I'd been while loosing my beautiful old sarees. So please please make a detailed video on this topic which will help many women like me.😢😢😢
Highly appreciated... Thank you for this very informative video.
My observation for such videos where they teach to iron "silk saree" is that they never use pure silk saree, we can easily make out that that is an art silk saree. But those with pure silk saree do jot understand this and end up running a precious pure silk saree.
Dolly I wanted to know your opinion on dry cleaning silk sarees. My mother NEVER gave them to the laundry. Ive seen expensive sarees ruined by dry cleaning. But some of my sarees are stained because of this. What does one do???
I never give silk sarees for washing. I have my wedding sarees 37 yrs old looking brand new . Once in a while, I give for pressing, but I refold it so that it will no tare in folds. Even for work, I used to wear silk. Only blouses are washed and get spoiled
I think I already had this kind of feeling for my saree that it should not be ironed on pleats. Thank God for that feeling.
And thanks to you for this video. ❤ I totally love my sarees so much... They are more like emotion and not just an attire to me.
Please explain about silk blouse maintainance also.. Particularly those sweat marks n odour
It's is usually done in South it is called box pleats. It is done for time saving. But i never liked it doing like this. I agree with you mam 💯
The other male saree draping expert from Tamil Nadu.....uses extreme heat for the saree pleats. I always used to wonder how his sarees survived. What she says is 100% true.
Highly useful....we shall save our silk sarees n suits... Big thank you, Dolly Ji !
Thank you dolly ji for all the tips that you give ...l am a sari lover too and care for them like you do... please advise if modern drycleaning is ok for silk saree since they are using chemicals for cleaning
Thanks for this informative video. Can we use garment steamers on kanjivaram and banaras silks. Please clarify
Thank you for the video. I recently started ironing my silk sarees directly. Now i know how to do it
Namaskar Ma'am, thank you so much for making such an informative video. Please share information also about how to store silk sarees so as to maintain its life for a longer period and also, after how many uses should we give a silk saree for drycleaning.
I have the same question
I also want to know the same.
much needed video actually, i agree with you 1000% bcoz i am a crazy collector of the silk sarees and i care a lot , i have legacy collections passed on from my great grand mother to my mom and then me, i was feeling very bad when i saw these saree pre-pleating videos and practices, but nobody agrees with me, now as its coming from a drape expert i hope it reaches lot many people and ladies will take care of their silk sarees.
I m a silk saree fan n collector, never dry clean them n iron very less, will reduce that too now, thanku
U are amazing ma'am it's like treating a small kid as same to treat a saree very softly and with love 😊
Thank you mam for this video. There are saree drapers who take online classes at minimal fees to teach this method for the new or fresher makeupartist for quick bridal makeover during her big day. Especially for maharastrian brides where the wedding muhurat is in the morning and there is no time for smooth drapes.
I request you to please make a video on how to keep these preparation ready before draping in your way.
Also how to store sarees after wear. How to fold them and do we need to change the fold and precautions to take while storing. Bcz some keep napthalin balls in the storage but the saree carries it smell every where.
Thank you.. Await you reply 🙏
"Meri ek saree damage karne se agar baaki saariyan bach jaati hain, to bhi it's okay!"
Full bollywood! ❤
Thank you so much for creating awareness. I'm a collector of silk sarees. I never do this type of ironing ever and mine have lasted for years together 😊
Thank you Dolly ji, for this wonderful advice to preserve the purity of silk sarees. Even I don’t agree harshly ironing the sarees while draping.
Sooo rightly said mam..this was much needed.. whenever i saw videos where silk sarees were ironed to drape it would hurt to c ...i have been commenting not to do so coz the saree starts tearing.. thnks for voicing this out🙏
Hello! Does sun bathing really help in removing creases on fabrics like Chanderi?
I hand wash my silks (when theymust be washed) in my washing machine using an organic gentle shampoo with a rinse where I add 1/4 cup of white vinegar. They come out beautifully. And undamaged.
Like another poster, I would love to learn more about proper storage. Most I hang in the closet, but one I roll because I fear hanging will destroy its unusual woven texture.
Thank you!
Thank you for your advice.. because my boyfriend family gave me a silk Saree .. and to be honest I don't know how to wear it and take care of it.. I'm not Indian but i really like to wear saree and trying to know how to wear like a professional Indian.. thanks a lot again.❤
Thank you so much for this lesson...its this moment only I realised that when we give saree for ironing in laundry, the use maximum temp to do the job fast.
Very true.I never iron my silk saree like this..I do believe the same.
Right thinking 👌
We south Indians never iron a saree while draping .Take an iron pattu saree drape using ur hands if not possible or new to saree draping take help of others for pleating fir such ironed pallu and fromt pleates without using iron box n ready to go 😅 for this no need of such pressure for draping .Draping saree is an art can be learned easily on little bit practice ❤
Thank you for this video. Pls share how to clean silk saree and how to store them too
Your are fav. I have recently started watching your videos . I am a hard core saree fan and I just love wearing pure. Your videos are really very informative. Thank you for the guidance.
Hello mam...first of all thanks to you for little tips but most important to us....I have a request for you to start a series for how to take care of sarees like how to wash , iron or how to take care of it for a long period....I hope you understand my querie
Yes please, do a series about maintenance of silk sarees, much needed
Thank You So Very Much Dolly Ji for this Video, Its really Sweet of You that These Tips are being Shared...❤
Please suggest about dry cleaning of Silk Saree. I observed every time my new saree goes for dryclean it looses it original feel. But if I ask the dry cleaner i do not get satisfactory answer. How frequently dry cleaning is needed, is there an alternative. Request your guidance. Its been 20 years i am facing this.
First of all do not wash or dry clean silk or zari saree after you wear it once just sun dry them inside out and all the sweat smell will go. Secondly, if in case there is some stain on the saree don’t wash the whole saree just remove the stain with shampoo with water but mind you just on stain. Frequently washing or dry cleaning sarees will ruin the texture as well as the lustre of the saree
Really very useful video Dolly ji....Now a days I saw in many saree draping videos they're using straighteners for pleats...actually it's not looking good... It's gives flat look... The way you're draping the saree is very very beautiful❤❤❤❤
From childhood, l learnt from my mother , that we must always put a white cotton dupatta on top
of a silk saree or silk dress, and then iron on the dupatta, on low heat .
Till this day , l follow this , and all my own sarees and even my mothers sarees, are as good as new.
Dolly dear ,the pain of ironing silk saree is visible in your eyes.My friends keep on using saree to make the dresses but I cannot do this.I feel it is the murder of saree.
I feel proud of wearing my mother's saree ,66 years old.
Love you dear
Helpful but ma'am also guide us how to keep silk saree in wardrobe and change it's fold in hanger or pile every year if not used tok much.
wonderful . i think silk saree looks beautiful withoutironing. i didnt know people were doing it.
True I never iron my silk saree like this way and also I love open pallo ❤
Thanks for sharing this info. Seeing draping videos on UA-cam i do kadak ironing on my saree and set it, because i feel if i will not iron it will not settle on my body
Thanks ..I am a new collector & this was really helpful...also plz make a video on how to preserve saree
What about the saris that we give to laundry for ironing we should not do it? Just fold and keep after use without ironing?
One of your most important and useful videos. Thank you!
Thank you mam for your precious advice 🙏
Please make a video on how we take care of silk sarees
I am surprised,saree dropping profession .I like very much sarees, your smile face like.your a sweet❤ person. Keep it up life long.
Thanks Dolly ji , wonderful information. One of my most used silk saree got torn after 23 years, happened while wearing. Never ironed , only drycleaning when utmost necessary.
What can be done of it ?
Hi Dolly mam, I'm really grateful for this video,thanks for letting us know that we should never iron press our silk sarees,thanks❤.
Mam I have a request.Can you please teach us how to drape a kanjivaram bridal silk saree.Because I don't know like how should we make those pleates in such beautiful creaches, please teach us mam😊.
Thank you so much for this information.
Would like to know if roll pressing is a good option for ironing silk sarees.
Yes true. People are using hair straightener to iron pallu part of sarees. They put so many safety pins also. I have seen in many videos. But true those might get cut as the thread is so delicate. And more of those way wearing doesn't look any flowy at all, moreover they look like some uniform of a airhostess. Because I have only seen them or ladies in hotel management wearing such neatly pleated sarees.
Pls share a video on how to store,iron n maintain silk n organza sarees
I did it for one silk saree and I will never do it thank you so much for your video
Thank you for your loving concern. Appreciate the deep respect for silk which is made from the work of silk worms ..thank you again

@Dolly Jain Mam, Thank you so much for making this video. It pains my heart the way saree drapers treat the silk sarees by not only by ironing but also by using hair strainghtners over it. The list of ill treatment does not end here. My mother in law has beautiful silk sarees collection, however she always gave them for drycleaning. I am not sure what the dry cleaner treated the saree with but those sarees are crisp (not soft). I took her beautiful reception saree to make a dress for my daughter and the moment i put it in the water to test strengeth of fabric, there was such a bad chemical smell and the saree tore like a paper. All her precious sarees has always been drycleaned and they all will probably meet the same fate. Kindly make a video on upkeep, cleaning, storage of silk sarees.

Excellent Dolly behan, such video on saree care was needed.

Please tell us how to dry wash or how to keep them wrinkle free.
Very useful information.Thanks mam❤
Here in south max r doing like this.... personally i don't like the way how they r treating saree.
Whether it is costly or less...but we should take care of it
Please show us the 100 year old saree.. It would be real treat for us...
@dolly jain can you please make video on how to preserve saris
I do agree with you
I always waste saree to be draped like saree not like a dress
Dolly ji very true I also have my nani, s my mother, s n my mother in law, silk saree as a treasure for me
Finally .. someone who thinks like me. I am totally against ironing silk sarees like this,.
Give us some information about dry cleaning a silk saree...particularly frequency
Does the same logic applies to hair straightener..used for front pleats
Yeah, because it's also application of heat :)
Also please tell me the best iron box
Hello mam so nice...
Mam plz tell us how to maintain sarees life means about washing iron drywash shampoowash etc etc ...Is pattu sarees really need drywash?? Depending upon type of the saree tell us how to wash..
Plz plz tell us we really want to know
I never really understood the ironing pleats trend. Part of the beauty of a saree is that it looks flowy, feminine, and effortless. Ironing everything from A to Z does not achieve this look.
I completely agree with you! The beauty of a saree lies in its flowy and effortless look. Ironing every pleat can take away from that charm.
Ma'am pls guide on how to store silk sarees....in bags
But what should be the method to keep in wardrobe?
Should we iron a silk saree by keeping a cotton dupatta on it? 0:30
Oh I have been seeing influencers ironing the Sharee. Every time I see that, I cringe. Thank you for addressing the problem
Same here. I do not watch those videos since clearly they do not care for the saree or their audience.
Very beautiful and useful video ❤
How can we reuse/restyle bridal lehenga.
I was waiting for this video ... Really needed someone like you to advice on this ....
Very good advice about silk sarees, thank you dolly ji.
