Step 1 Wear a blouse and a petticoat the
normal way. Traditionally, a long blouse is worn
with Osaria style. Step 2 Pleat a nice and long
pallu and place it the way you wear it in nivi
style. Pin the pallu to the blouse.

Step 3 Tie a cloth belt tightly
around your waist over the front side of the
pallu. The end of pallu is to be left loose just
like nivi style. Step 4 Drape the remaining sari
that hangs below the belt around the lower part
of your body.

Step 5 Once the petticoat is covered, do
the front pleats. Leave a fair amount of saree so
that it can be used for further draping. Step
6 Tuck the upper side of the front pleat under
the belt and pull it out from the other end. This
way the pleats will be under the belt, over the
pleated pallu. But the upper border of the front
pleat will be visible over the belt.

Step 7 Carefully spread the upper end of
the front pleats over the belt in a manner that
it covers the belt completely. It will look like
tiny pleats around your waist above the long
front pleat.

Step 8 Drape the rest of the saree
over the frontal pleat and tuck it under the
belt. The tiny pleats around your waist will be
on top the drape, in the middle and the frontal
pleats, in the end. It will be a tree-layer
draping. Make sure to cover the frontal pleats
with the last drape.
