Also, this requires arranging a small studio-like setup – space, proper background & lighting for the mannequin before the photoshoot. With an affordable, one-time cost, one could purchase a mannequin and use it to drape sarees before taking the photographs. We have seen in many showrooms the way the mannequins are used to showcase sarees or any fashion products. This alternative is not new to all of us. The only word of caution is that we will need to place the folded saree in such a way there is ample & even lighting falling on it.Ĥ folded saree where pallu, body and blouse are visible 3) Using Mannequins This alternative could be done without anyone’s assistance. We fold the saree in a way the important elements of the saree (like pallu, body, pleats/ patli, blouse) can be photographed using a good quality mobile phone or a digital camera.

In fact, this would be a very much relevant question to all the online sellers selling any primary fashion category and not just sarees alone – be it, salwars, kurtis, chudidars, tops & bottoms for men, women & kids.

So, this makes it all the way necessary for the online saree sellers to showcase their saree designs through quality product images wherever they are selling online – be it on the marketplaces like Amazon, Flipkart, PayTM, Snapdeal, Voonik, Etsy or on their own ecommerce website or social channels like Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp or social reselling platforms like Meesho, Glowroad, etc.

To be more specific, the images that have the sarees draped on fashion models to showcase the saree design they intend to sell to their customers. We are really curious to understand what percent of the saree sellers already selling online or willing to sell online have second thoughts on arranging the importance of product images.
