Whether it is a traditional Brahmani or a Peshwai style, I use hidden pinning techniques and precise border alignment to make sure the nine yards stay perfectly in place for hours. Wearing a Nauvari saree is a powerful feeling, but I know how daunting the sheer volume of fabric can be. It is not just a drape, it is a structural challenge involving specific techniques like the Kashta (back tuck) and the Ocha (front fan pleats). When I drape for you, my priority is ensuring that heavy Paithani or silk fabric does not feel bulky. I focus on two main things: silhouette and security. For weddings or long Ganesh Chaturthi rituals, you need to be mobile. I use rust-proof safety pins with concealed techniques and intensive ironing to make sure your pleats hold their shape. If you are worried about slippery fabrics like Chiffons or heavy nine-yard silks, I have specific methods to handle the weight without sacrificing the elegant flow of the pleats. **Why clients choose me for Nauvari:** * **Technical Accuracy:** Whether you prefer the classic Brahmani, the regal Peshwai, or the trendy Mastani style, I get the border alignment exactly right. * **Dance-Proof Drapes:** I perform a sit-stand-walk test to ensure your saree will not shift during Sangeet performances or festival processions. * **Volume Management:** I contour the drapes so you get a slim silhouette even with nine yards of fabric. * **Accessories:** I help with waist belt (kamarband) placement and ensuring your nath and jewelry stand out against the saree borders. I travel across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Thane to your venue. Do not stress about the fabric weight or the complexity of the tucks, just focus on your celebration. ## About Priyanka Dalvi I'm Priyanka, and the Nauvari drape is truly my jam.
