Stop letting those beautiful Kanchipuram or Bandhani sarees sit in your closet. I help you transform them into stunning, custom-fit lehengas and gowns you will love to wear again.

A close-up of the beautiful, handcrafted tassels I created for a lehenga skirt. These were made by upcycling an old silk saree into a new outfit.

A full view of the lehenga I created from a client's Kanchi saree. The skirt has fine pleats, and the back of the blouse features elegant tassels, giving it a modern yet traditional feel.

This beautiful gown was converted from a Bandhani saree. I designed it with a stylish bustier and flowing skirt, giving the traditional fabric a completely new and modern silhouette.

About From Saree to Lehenga & Gowns

When I upcycle a saree, the trickiest part is managing the heavy borders and ensuring the fabric drapes naturally as a skirt or gown. I personally map out the pleat placement to make sure your original Kanjivaram or Bandhani motifs are showcased perfectly, so the new outfit retains the soul of the original saree.

I am Bhavya, and I started Attitude because I was tired of running around for different tailoring needs. I love the creative challenge of taking a saree that is just sitting in your cupboard and turning it into an outfit you will actually wear.
