The photo was taken upside down
If the pallu was at the top of your photo, the studio's guess can land on the wrong end. Check the line every time.
Pallu design in the pleats? How to put the pallu on the shoulder
The most decorated part of a saree belongs over the shoulder. If it came out in the pleats, the studio was told the pallu is at the other end. One button fixes it.
What you’ll get
The pallu design over the model's shoulder, where it belongs.

- Step 1
Find the pallu line on your fabric
In the AI Cut & Detection Workspace, a thin orange line marks where the pallu starts. Everything on that side of the line is treated as the pallu — the part that goes over the shoulder.
It should sit just before the decorated end of your saree, as here: the line is above the patterned band at the bottom.

- Step 2
What it looks like when it is wrong
Here the line has moved to the other end, over the plain body. The studio now thinks the plain end is the pallu — so the decorated band ends up folded into the pleats.

- Step 3
Fix it: switch the pallu end, then generate again
Tap Pallu at top or Pallu at bottom — whichever moves the line next to your decorated end. Check the line has moved, then generate the shot again.
If the whole fabric looks sideways, tap Rotate first so the weave runs straight, then set the pallu.
Tip Set the pallu before the first generation. It is the single setting that most often decides whether a saree shot is usable.
Why it happens
The fabric is sideways
A saree photographed across the frame needs Rotate first, or the pallu line runs the wrong way.
A plain pallu
If the pallu is barely different from the body, add a photo of it under Dupatta / Extra Pallu.
