how to use old saree

Gone are those days when you need to buy everything. The trend now a days is to have minimal wardrobe. And for minimal wardrobe, rather than buying more and more things, you need to keep investing. Thus, take out those old sarees from your wardrobe, because this is the time to give them a new look.

Let’s have a look at some of the most amazing ways of how you can glam up a old saree and use it again –

1. Anarkali –

Now, this is my favorite way of using up the old silk saree. I am personally thinking of using this for my multiple wedding sarees. Anarkali dresses are my favorite. And each anarkali requires a minimum of 4 meter fabric. Thus, use your sarees which you are not wearing. This will save you the fabric cost and you will be incurring only the stitching charges.
