Styling notes
Outfits that survive the group number
Weeks of choreography, a stage, and every cousin and aunty taking a turn. Your sangeet outfit has to spin, bend and last until the final song. So this page has a bit of everything: sarees, pre-drapes, skirt sarees, sharara sets and kurta sets, with plenty of shine for the stage lights.
Performing? We'd steer you towards a skirt saree or a sharara, since there are no pleats to come loose. The Crayon chevron chiffon skirt saree comes with a black sequin blouse, and one of our skirt sarees even has pockets for your phone during rehearsals. The fuchsia georgette sharara with pallu is a joy to twirl in.
If you'd rather drape, the Treasure paradise satin has long beads on the pallu that catch the light every time you turn. The Accordion maroon pre-drape with a self arm-tie stays put through any routine. Do a test spin at home, pin the pallu firmly and plan your hem around flats. Looking for a lehenga? Those live in our sangeet soirée edit.
Good to know
What should I wear if I'm performing?
A skirt saree, sharara set or pre-draped saree. All three let you move freely without pleats slipping.
Which colours work under stage lights?
Jewel tones and metallics. Fuchsia, wine, purple, gold and deep red all glow on stage.
Will a pre-draped saree stay in place while I dance?
Yes. The pleats are stitched so they can't open, and it fastens with elastic at the back and invisible hooks. Pin the pallu for extra peace of mind.
