girlies can y'all please help me out?

I got to perform in a programme two weeks from now, and I want to drape this saree i bought recently, I have only performed in bharatnatyam costumes and lehengas/ghagras before and some people are actively discouraging me stating I won't be able to conduct the dance performance properly in the saree, when I'm kinda skeptical myself..is it that difficult to perform in it?😭
