This Manish Malhotra sari gown is a gift for girls who can't drape a sari

Getting the six yards right is all about how well you drape it — and that's exactly where most of us falter. Add to that the feeling of being wrapped in layers and layers of fabric — God forbid if it's a not-breathable fabric like nylon or polyester — while having to constantly manage the pleats and the pallu. If that sounds like a daunting task to you, skip the trouble by opting for a chic sari gown. Take a look at Shilpa Shetty Kundra, whose love for contemporary sari gowns will inspire you to try the trend for yourself. Decked in a Manish Malhotra sari gown in a bold oxblood, Shilpa gives the sari a sexy update. 

The sweetheart neckline and the sheer panelled waist shows off her dainty torso. The best feature, however, is the daring thigh-high slit that gives the sari gown a sexy and sophisticated look. Shilpa rounds off the sari gown with nude strappy heels, ruby and diamond earrings, a statement neckpiece, bracelet and multiple rings.
