I often teach students how to adapt a standard 6-yard saree using strategic pleat placement and locking pins, turning it into a comfortable, secure dhoti-style drape that stays in place throughout the event. Regional saree draping is an art form that brings history into the modern day. Whether it is the regal appeal of the Rajasthani Chundadi drape or the classic simplicity of the Gujarati seedha pallu, each style requires a different understanding of fabric weight and body proportions. At my studio in Malad East, I break down these complex drapes into easy, repeatable steps. We focus on the foundational techniques—how to measure without a tape, how to manage heavy borders, and where to place pins so they are invisible but secure. For those looking to learn, I offer both in-person workshops and live, interactive online sessions where I can watch your progress and offer real-time corrections. My curriculum covers over 10 distinct regional styles, including: * **Maharashtrian Nauvari & Brahmani:** Transforming 6-yard silks into traditional 9-yard looks. * **Gujarati Seedha Pallu:** Modernizing the traditional front-facing pallu. * **Bengali Style:** Mastering the classic drape for festivals like Durga Puja. * **Coorgi & Fusion:** Adapting regional drapes to fit modern event requirements. We don't just learn the 'what'—we learn the 'how' so that you can drape yourself or others with the same confidence you would have with a simple Nivi drape. If you are a bride-to-be or a stylist looking to add to your portfolio, these traditional skills are essential. ## About Mayuri Biyani I’m Mayuri, and I believe regional drapes are about more than just tradition—they’re a way to connect with our roots.
