What BK drapes is a nauvari... 9 yards... there's a specific technique to wear it...
There are variations in drape called Brahmani, Peshwai, Lavni etc... prestitched ones are available nowadays which is what BK wears.
The drape actually came into being during the times of Shivaji Maharaj and Maratha... there were female warriors and with drape like this it was easier to mount and dismount horses. Even Jhansi ki Rani used to wear this and so did Holkars/Ahilyabai.
What they make Sai or others... even P wore today is dhoti drape... nowadays popularized by the influencers.... it's an allusion of a nauvari created by using a 6 yard saree... hence it looks puffed up at odd places.
Sai ka remarriage wala green was a prestitched nauvar (can be identified from the back as it has a border which is used to insert the naada) and the purple one she wore for the cowrie Pooja (which BK helped her drape) was an actual nauvar .. 9 yard in Brahmani style.
Ayesha ka height is also another factor why it looks odd sometimes.
