In these workshops, we deep-dive into measurement-based pleating, where we calculate your specific hip and waist dimensions to ensure a centered fall. I also demonstrate the exact iron temperatures and stainless-steel pinning techniques required to keep a drape secure for 8 hours without sagging or added bulk. ### Learn the Science of the Drape Many people think saree draping is just about tucking and pinning, but it is actually a precise skill that involves understanding fabric weight, body silhouettes, and structural integrity. My master classes, conducted in Bengaluru, are designed to move beyond basic Nivi styles. ### What You Will Master: * **Advanced Pleating:** Learn how to achieve the 'fluffy pleat' and 'bubble' look, which adds volume and elegance to the drape without compromising on safety. * **Silhouette Correction:** We focus on strategic pleat placement to create a flattering A-line silhouette, specifically helping to minimize bulk for different body types. * **Technical Execution:** You will learn which hardware to use, including how to conceal rust-proof pins within the pleats so they remain invisible yet secure. * **Travel-Safe Folding:** I include modules on 'box folding' techniques, teaching you how to fold sarees into compact, wrinkle-free 14x18 inch squares for storage or easy travel. ### Why Join? Whether you want to upgrade your personal styling skills or are looking to start a career as a professional saree drapist, these sessions offer a hands-on approach. I provide one-on-one and group coaching, ensuring every student gets personalized feedback on their technique. These classes are grounded in the same methods I use for my professional bridal and event draping assignments across the city. By the end of the workshop, you will be able to complete a flawless, secure drape in under two minutes, even for complex fabrics like Kanjeevaram or lighter chiffon materials. ## About Uma Nagaraj I am Uma Nagaraj, and for me, a saree is not just clothing—it is siri, a form of wealth. My journey as a government-affiliated educator began because I wanted to share the tiny, secret pleating tricks that you simply won't find on YouTube. I run these master classes to help you feel confident enough to drape for yourself or start your own professional journey.
