Small-sized buttons or prints:-
To look tall in a saree, you should always choose a saree that has fine, delicate, small prints on the CD. Small and closely spaced prints make your body look slim and tall, without focusing on your height.
Plain/Monochromatic saree:-
The color of the saree should be the same up to the waist, this gives a kind of continuous look, which makes you look taller.
Avoid large and dark prints:-
Large and narrow prints on a saree focus more on the width of the body and make you look shorter, so avoid large and dark prints and opt for small and light or soft prints or designs.
Small Border:-
A large border or hem of a saree 'cuts' the height, on the contrary, a small or short border shows the height continuously. Due to this, your height always looks higher in a saree.
Monochrome Blouse Saree Combo:-
A monochrome combo means choosing a saree and blouse in the same color or shade of the same color. For example, if it is a dark blue saree, wear a blouse of the same shade of blue. Since the saree and blouse are not of different colors, horizontal lines do not form on the body. The whole body looks straight and long due to the same color. Since there is no color change, the eyes move easily from top to bottom, so it seems as if the height has increased.
