My Story
Hi, I’m Mayuri. Rajasthani roots run deep, so trust me, I’m all about tradition – especially Rajputana Poshak. Festive feels at home, always! I love dressing up my daughter for Janmashtami or her dance shows. Once, her costume didn’t fit, so I grabbed a saree and made a dhoti outta it – quick jugaad (hack), right? Sarees are my happy place. For me, it’s not just work, it’s celebrating our culture, one drape at a time.
My Work
Saree Draping & Pre-Pleating - I drape sarees for brides, shoots, events, and offer pre-pleated saree service for travel ease.
Creative Draping Styles - Saree jumpsuit style, faux dhoti saree, lehenga looks – my 'Knots and Bangles' series is all about these.
Learn Saree Draping - Join my professional saree draping course, online or offline. Practice styles for yourself or others.
Draping Hacks - I share tricks, like tying petticoats with surgical knots and getting a sleek look without shapewear.
Special Occasion Styling - From Maharashtrian brides in South Indian style to 3am model shoots, I don’t compromise on quality.
