About Saree Pre-pleating & Box Folding Service
Why I Started This
Pre-pleating a saree has saved me and so many others from those last-minute saree struggles. I get how tough it feels to get neat pleats, especially when you’re already getting late. That’s exactly why I began this - to make saree wearing chill, not stressful.
How My Process Works
You give me your saree, I handle the rest:
- Lower pleats and pallu pleats professionally set and ironed
- Folded into a tiny, travel-friendly box - just open and drape, no drama
- Works for all fabrics - from simple cotton to heavy silk
What Makes It Different
- Drape your saree in 5 minutes - life-saver for busy mornings or sudden plans
- Pleats are pakka (super neat) and don’t end up bulky or messy
- Perfect for travel, weddings, or even just to keep the wardrobe tidy with compact saree storage
- If you’re in Bangalore, drop off or use a delivery app. From outside, courier works just fine
What You Can Expect
I use the same non-bulky saree pleating tricks I teach in my classes. No fancy jargon, just solid results - sarees that look crisp, stay in place, and make you feel sorted. Romba easy (super easy) to wear, even if you aren’t a saree pro.

My Story
Hey, I’m Vaishu, most people just call me the saree drapist. I’m all about arts you can do with your hands – saree draping, nail art, you name it. I noticed even folks who've worn sarees forever sometimes struggle or want to turn it into a business. So I started workshops. My happiest moments? When someone tells me, ‘Vaishu, I never thought I’d get it, but now I can!’ I teach mostly in English, but Tamil and Telugu, no problem.
