Typically ₹550-750 Per Saree (estimate)

#### Structural Pleating
* Pallu Setting: Measured and folded shoulder pleats ironed flat for a sharp fall.
* Waist Pleats: Uniform, crisp lower pleats set to the center to prevent ballooning.
* Fabric Handling: Steam-ironing with temperature control suitable for delicate weaves like Tissue or Kanjeevaram.

#### Hardware & Setup
* Pinning: Strategic placement of rust-proof safety pins to lock pleats in place.
* Hanger Setup: Draped on a hanger to maintain vertical integrity (hanger to be provided or basic return).
* Memory Setting: Ironing technique ensures the drape remains sharp for months in storage.

#### Advanced Folding

#### Travel Packaging
* Stiffener Inserts: Card paper inserts used to prevent sagging or shape loss inside a suitcase.
* Protective Layer: Sealed in a clear, dust-proof plastic cover to isolate the saree from zippers or hooks in luggage.

* Ready-to-Wear: Designed for shake and drape usage without needing re-ironing at the destination.

## About Saree Pre-pleating & Boxing

I make sure you don’t have to stress over saree pleats on your big day. My pre-pleating and boxing service means your saree is ready to slip on, with all the folds crisp and set - so you can focus on memories, not adjusting your drape.

### What I Do

- I hand-pleat both the skirt and pallu, press each pleat till it's sharp, and box or hanger fold the saree so it’s easy to wear.
- Brides love this for Muhurtham and Pheras, especially if you want that regal look without last-minute panic.
- If you’ve got a destination wedding or have to travel, your saree arrives squished-free and neat. That's saree packing for travel, sorted.

### Sarees I Handle

- I work with all kinds, but I get extra careful with heavier silks - Kanjeevaram, Banarasi, Paithani, Tissue - where one wrong pleat can mess up the whole vibe.
- Pre-pleated silk sarees just feel different when done right. I treat every saree like it’s a part of your story.

### Real Talk

- Not every fabric behaves, especially slippery ones, but I let you know upfront.
- Ready to wear saree pleats means less drama and more time for you.
