Learn Authentic Saree Draping & Styling Techniques
Discover the art of the perfect drape, from regional classics to modern fusion styles, through my hands-on workshops and personalized coaching.
I love this "Saree Map of India" because it beautifully illustrates the incredible diversity of our country's weaving traditions. In my workshops, we often discuss the different fabrics and how to drape them.
Wearing one of my favorite Banarasi sarees. I believe in celebrating our textile heritage, and I encourage my students to explore different regional sarees and find the ones that speak to them.
About My Saree Stories & Techniques
Whether you are a beginner struggling with your first Nivi drape or a stylist looking to master the complex Navari or Madisar, I focus on the fabric science behind the pleats. It is not just about tucking and pinning, but about understanding how a heavy Kanjeevaram behaves differently than a flowy georgette so you can move with confidence all day.
My journey with sarees started with a deep love for our cultural heritage, and now I help others wear that heritage with ease.
Virtual and In-Person Learning
If you are outside Mumbai, my 1-on-1 virtual sessions are designed to be interactive and thorough, focusing on saree anatomy and precise pleating. For those in Mumbai, my Borivali studio hosts small group workshops where we tackle everything from ironing hacks to invisible pinning.
Regional and Professional Skills
My curriculum covers:
- Regional Classics: Learn the specific structural techniques for the Maharashtrian Navari, the South Indian Madisar, and the elegant Bengali Atpoure drape.
- Fabric Handling: We practice on various textures, ensuring your Kanjeevaram stays sharp and your chiffon looks flowy, never sloppy.
- Professional Services: For aspiring stylists, I teach advanced techniques like pre-pleating and box folding, which are essential skills for bridal bookings or professional makeup kits.
Join me to stop seeing the saree as a challenge and start wearing it as an expression of your personality.
