A loose blouse sags, wrinkles and does not give the smooth line a saree needs.
Likely causes
- The blouse is a size too large.
- The bust darts do not match your bust point.
- There is no padding or structure to hold the shape.
- The fabric has relaxed with wear.
How it is fixed
- Take in the side seams to bring the blouse closer to the body.
- Reshape or add darts so the fullness sits at the bust point.
- Add padding or an inner lining for structure.
Can it be altered?
Yes. Taking in is one of the easiest and most reliable alterations.
Prevent it next time
Choose a size based on your own measurements, not a standard size, and ask for padding if you prefer a structured shape. See padded vs non-padded blouses.
