We focus on hands-on practice, from steam-ironing heavy Kanjivaram silks to mastering the precise pin-placement that keeps your pleats secure all day. By the end of our session, you will know how to create sharp, uniform pleats for any style, whether you are dressing yourself or setting up a pre-pleated saree for others. Saree draping is more than just wrapping fabric. It is about understanding the fall, the weight of the silk, and the geometry of the pleats. In my JP Nagar studio, I keep batches small so that every student gets personal attention. ### What We Cover * **Technique:** We dive deep into heatless styling for the chest area to ensure a soft fall, and the specific steam-ironing methods that give you a crisp look without damaging delicate fabrics. * **Box Folding:** You will learn how to compress a 6-yard saree into a 12x14 inch box, perfect for packing heavy silks for travel without creating messy wrinkles. I show you how to hide fold lines within the pleats. * **Business Readiness:** Many of my students join to start their own pre-pleating businesses. I share my tips on how to handle client sarees safely, how to use rust-proof pins, and how to deliver a professional-looking product on a hanger. Whether you want to master the classic Nivi drape, the traditional Madisar, or the trendy Butterfly style, I provide the mannequins and the guidance. You bring the enthusiasm and your sarees, and we turn those fabric struggles into a skill you will use for a lifetime. ## About Nimmi I'm Nimmi, and I live for the 'fluffy pleat.' Seeing a student finally nail a complex Madisar drape after a few hours of practice is why I do this. Whether you're a mom wanting to dress quickly for festivals or someone looking to start a pre-pleating business, I'm here to teach you everything I know.
