About Saree Draping
Why Saree Draping Feels Special
For me, saree draping is more than just wrapping fabric. It’s about making you feel like yourself, but a little extra - confident, beautiful, and ready for anything. I know how those last-minute “chala chala lavkar” (hurry up, hurry up!) moments can get, so I focus on making sure your saree stays perfect all day.
My Approach
- I keep things simple and fuss-free.
- Your pleats are neat, pallu sits just right.
- You can move, dance, and celebrate without worrying about your saree slipping or getting messy.
Signature Styles
I love working with all sarees, but some styles are close to my heart:
- Maharashtrian Nauvari saree draping - authentic, comfortable, and full of tradition.
- South Indian bridal saree pleats - sharp, elegant, and perfect for Kanjeevarams.
- Traditional silk saree styling - Banarasi, Paithani, Nivi style, or anything you want.
Occasions Covered
I drape sarees for:
- Weddings, bridal events, engagements, receptions
- Sangeet, mehendi, festivals, parties

I’m based in Mumbai but happy to travel anywhere, even for destination weddings. Many clients pair saree draping with hairstyling for a complete look - whether you want that perfect Marathmola shringar (Maharashtrian adornment) or something else, I’ve got you covered.
