About Featured
A common worry is how long a drape will last. When I drape, I don't just pin; I structure the pleats based on your height and hip measurements using concealed, rust-proof pins. This creates a secure, A-line silhouette that stays sharp for 6 to 8 hours, even if you are moving or dancing all day.
Whether it is a heavy silk Kanjeevaram for a wedding or a lightweight chiffon for a party, the way a saree is pleated changes how you look and feel. As a government-affiliated educator, my approach is technical. I focus on creating a sharp, structural silhouette—what many call the 'fluffy pleat'—that adds volume and grace.
If you are tired of struggling with pleats before an event, my pre-pleating and box folding service is designed for your schedule. You can courier your saree to my studio in KR Puram, and I will pleat, iron, and pack it into a travel-safe, 14x18 inch box. When it arrives, all you have to do is step into it, pin the pallu, and you are ready in two minutes.
For events, I provide on-site services across Bengaluru. I specialize in silhouette correction, using strategic pleat placement to ensure you don't feel bulky, and instead look elegant. I also work with deities, performing specialized draping for Varamahalakshmi and other festival idols.
Beyond the service, I am deeply passionate about teaching. In my master classes, I don't just demonstrate; I teach you to take your own measurements so your drapes are consistent every single time. We cover everything from the right iron temperature to the specific type of safety pins needed to hold a drape for hours. My goal is simple: to make saree wearing effortless and empowering for every woman.
