8 Easy Steps to Wear Rajputi Dress Like a Queen

Okay, so let’s be honest. The Rajputi Dress is one of those outfits that just makes you feel... I don't know... royal? Seriously! The first time ever that I had donned one, I had to sit in front of the mirror for some ten minutes, just gazing at myself. The skirt, the odhni, the embroidery- everything is just dramatic.

But here’s the thing-putting it on the right way? That’s tricky. And if you’re like me, you probably ended up with the odhni twisted, skirt uneven, looking more like a mess than a queen. Don’t worry, I got you. Here’s how to wear a Rajputi Dress properly, step by step, without panicking.

Why Rajputi Dress is Special

Before we get into the steps, let me just say-this dress is not just clothing. It’s history. Like, you’re literally wearing centuries of Rajasthani royalty.

First off, it has that royal vibe-colors, embroidery, the flow.
The odhni? It’s basically the crown of the outfit.
Works for weddings, festivals, family gatherings, pujas… pretty much everything.

And honestly, it makes anyone look graceful. Even if you’re having a “meh” day, this dress fixes it. Explore our complete collection of Rajputi Dresses and traditional outfits to find the perfect look for any wedding, festival, or family function.

Steps of wearing Rajputi Dress

Step 1: Picking the Right Fabric

Fabric matters. Trust me. Silk and brocade are for weddings. Cotton or georgette-perfect for summer events. You don’t want to be sweating while trying to twirl in a ghagra. Funny thing is, my cousin tried silk in peak summer once… disaster! She spent half the event fanning herself like crazy.

Step 2: Choosing Colors

Colors set the whole vibe. Weddings? Bold colors-maroon, red, royal blue. Festivals? Anything bright, like orange or green. Small family functions? Go pastel. Honestly, a color mismatch can ruin the royal effect instantly. Oh, and tip: match your odhni with embroidery if possible. Looks way more put together.

Step 3: Kanchli and Kurti

This is your base layer. The kanchli (blouse) should fit snugly but not suffocate you. The kurti (tunic) gives structure. Quick advice: move around after wearing them. Sit, bend, walk a little. If you feel uncomfortable now, you’ll regret it later when adding the ghagra and odhni.

Step 4: Ghagra Magic

The ghagra is where the drama begins. Long, flowy, royal-love it. Tie it at the waist, not too tight, not too loose. Pro tip: swirl it once or twice in front of a mirror. You’ll feel like a Bollywood heroine. Seriously, try it. Twirl. You’ll thank me later.

Step 5: Odhni Drama

The odhni. Ah, this one needs patience. One side covers the head, the rest drapes across your shoulder. You can pin it neatly or leave it flowing, depending on occasion. My first attempt? Ended up tangled around my arms. Everyone laughed, but it was cute in pictures. Moral: practice, or get a friend to help.

Step 6: Jewellery

Bangles, necklaces, borla, anklets… all the fun stuff. But jokes apart, don’t go overboard. If your dress is heavily embroidered, go simple with the jewellery. Keep it bold if the dress is plain. Balance. Always. And yes, the right earrings can make the outfit pop.

Step 7: Footwear

Classic: juttis. Modern twist: heels. Honestly, pick what you can walk in. Not fun, walking lame halfway down a wedding aisle, while everyone watches. Been there, done that, learned in a very hard way.

Step 8: Confidence

The most important step. Walk tall, smile, and perhaps toss your odhni a little (queen style, obviously). Confidence is noticed much more than the dress itself. Really! You could be in a plain dress but walk like a queen, and everyone would notice it.

Quick Tips

Light makeup if your dress is heavy. Heavy makeup + heavy dress = disaster.
Fusion jewellery works if you want a modern twist.
Pin your odhni well, or it’ll slip every five minutes.
Pastel colors for day events, and bright colors for night.
Stand straight-shoulders back and chin up. Posture matters.

Next wedding, festival, or family function- pick with your Rajputi Dress and head out.
