The pleated palla can be useful for creating the illusion of vertical lines, which can give your torso a slimming appearance. Lines can also make your torso look taller for shorter women. Pleats can also add a covering effect or a more dominant effect for women who want to cover the top of their torso and are much more useful ways to achieve a pleated pallu saree look.
