Certified Saree Draping Workshop in Navi Mumbai
Stop struggling with pleats and start styling with confidence. My hands-on workshop in Navi Mumbai teaches you everything from pre-pleating to heavy fabric management, giving you the skills to drape any saree yourself.
A look inside one of my saree draping workshops. I believe in interactive learning, where I explain the theory and then provide live demonstrations, answering every question to ensure each student understands the process.
Practice makes perfect. Here, a student showcases the result of a hands-on session, a beautifully draped Nauvari saree. The workshop provides a supportive space to practice and refine your technique.
My students and models practicing different draping styles during a workshop. You can see the variety of sarees and drapes we cover, from simple Nivi styles to more complex traditional forms.
I provide close, hands-on guidance for intricate styles like the Maharashtrian dhoti drape. You will learn how to measure and fold the saree to fit the body perfectly, creating a comfortable and authentic look.
One of the advanced techniques you'll master is using heat to set pleats. This professional trick is essential for makeup artists and stylists who need to create a flawless, immovable drape for their clients that lasts for hours.
This video shows the pre-pleating method in action. I teach you how to prepare a saree beforehand, which is a game-changer for managing heavy fabrics and ensuring a quick, perfect drape on the day of an event.
About Hands-On Saree Draping Training
Forget fighting with fabric ten minutes before an event. In this workshop, you will master the art of pre-pleating—a game changer for managing heavy bridal silk or stiff synthetic sarees. You will practice physically in the studio, ensuring you leave with the muscle memory and the confidence to drape perfectly in under five minutes, no matter the fabric type.
Why Professional Draping Matters
Draping is not just about tucking and pinning; it is about engineering the fabric to fit your body proportion. Whether you are prepping for your own wedding or building a career as a stylist, knowing how to measure pleats and manage heavy borders changes how you look and feel.
The Curriculum: What You Will Master
This is an intensive, one-day session focusing on practical skills, not just theory. You will spend 5 to 6 hours working directly with your own sarees under our supervision.
- Advanced Techniques: We cover 7+ styles, including Pre-Pleating for speed, Box Folding for travel storage, and Hanger Draping for presentation.
- Fabric Management: Learn the difference between ironing Kanjeevarams and handling synthetic blends. We teach you how to use heat to set pleats so your look stays immovable all day.
- Foundation: Instruction on body measurement. You will learn to size your pleats based on your specific waist-to-hip ratio, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
Workshop Logistics
- Certification: You receive a physical Certificate of Completion upon finishing the session.
- Environment: We keep groups small to ensure one-on-one mentorship from Laxmi Pawar and Sakshi Lonare.
- What to Bring: Please carry your own practice saree (cotton or silk-blend works best), petticoat, and heels. We provide all pins, clips, and light refreshments for the day.
Become aatmnirbhar (self-reliant) with your style. Whether you want to master the Nauvari, the Nivi, or complex bridal drapes, you will leave with the technique, the certificate, and the confidence to execute it perfectly every single time.
