## About Saree Draping Workshop

I’m not here to impress, I’m here to progress - and help you do the same. My saree draping workshop is all about becoming aatmnirbhar (self-reliant) and confident, whether you want to style yourself for a wedding or just get the basics right.

### What’s Different About My Workshop
- First certified saree draping workshop in Navi Mumbai, co-hosted with Sakshi Lonare.
- We go beyond just “how to pleat a saree” - you’ll actually understand fabrics, body proportions, and the art behind creating saundarya (beauty) with your own hands.

### What You’ll Learn (All Practical)
- Pre-pleating and pre-ironing so your look stays fresh all day.
- Measuring plates and getting your drape to fit your body, not just any body.

- Loads of hands-on practice - you won’t be watching, you’ll be doing.

### Who It’s For
Anyone who wants to add saree styling techniques to their skillset. Makeup artists, stylists, or just folks who want to drape with confidence for personal events. If you want to feel kartrutvavaan (capable) in your style, you’ll fit right in.

Hi, I’m Laxmi. Progress matters to me, not showing off. I’m from Navi Mumbai but my makeup kit travels wherever your wedding takes you.

I get so much joy seeing my navris light up, that laadachi gaurai (pampered bride) vibe, that’s what I love creating. It’s honestly a blessing.

### My work

- **Traditional Maharashtrian Navri Makeup & More**: Known for my traditional Maharashtrian navri makeup, plus Punjabi, South Indian, and Buddhist bride looks.
- **Soft Nude Bridal Makeup & Glam Looks**: My style? Soft nude bridal makeup with glam touches, shimmering highlights, and delicate details.
