Being called a "road side tailor" by some folks only made me tougher. I get how tough it is to start out, which is why I built this Fashion Design & Entrepreneurship Course to share all the ups and downs I’ve faced, and the lessons I learnt the hard way. ### What You’ll Get I'm not just teaching you to sketch or sew - I’m here to help you grow into a confident entrepreneur. You’ll get real mentorship, not just classroom theory. I want every woman who joins me to walk away with a plan, a voice, and a killer portfolio - not just skills. ### What We Cover in 3 Months - We start with basics like sketching necklines, sleeves, and skirts, and move up to professional fashion illustration classes. - You'll learn how to build mood boards, create flat sketches, and put together a portfolio that actually shows your style. - Fabric science is a big deal here - we'll show you power loom vs handloom, pure vs synthetic, and take you out to fabric markets for real textile sourcing workshops. - You’ll get hands-on with block printing, tie and dye, and even fabric painting on kurtis and sarees. - Business isn't an afterthought - I’ll guide you through fashion business mentorship, from SWOT analysis to actual strategies pulled from my own studio experience. ### How We Roll Classes start with sound healing to get your creative juices flowing. You get a goody bag with everything you need on day one. Both weekday and weekend batches are open. ### Your Journey First two months: All about design and fabrics. Third month: Portfolio development for designers and deep dive into the business side. At the end, you’ll present your final collection and earn your certificate. If you’re ready to push past your limits, I’m here to help you figure it out. Like my dad always said, "Scope for improvement irukku!" (There’s always room to get better.) ## Highlights Browse through Riya By Preethi Raj's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/riya-by-preethi-raj/fashion-design-entrepreneurship-course/featured) - [Video: (Hero Media) I believe the best way to learn about fabrics is to experience them firsthand.

Started as a single mom in Chennai, folks called me 'road side tailor' and laughed at my dreams. But I had a thing for colors, design, and making magic with fabric. Shifted to Bengaluru, built my boutique from scratch, 3000 sq ft now! My dad always said, 'Scope for improvement.' That stuck. Now I mentor others, run my academy, and every day I remind myself - Get up, dress up, show up. Never give up. ### My work - **Customised Ethnic Wear**: I design bridal blouses, lehengas, half-sarees, groom and kids outfits. Everything is made for your special moments. - **Minimal Alteration Approach**: I style your whole look - saree, jewellery, colours. Most clients walk away happy, no extra fitting drama. - **Hands-on Fashion Academy**: My academy is all about real experience - market trips, block printing, sound healing before we start. I mentor future designers and entrepreneurs. ## More services from Riya By Preethi Raj - [Custom Ethnic Wear Design](https://mytribe.in/riya-by-preethi-raj/custom-ethnic-wear-design) · ₹5.5-22K per blouse (estimate) ## Experts similar to Riya By Preethi Raj on mytribe - [Fashion Design Course by Soul Fashion Academy](https://mytribe.in/soulfashionacademy/fashion-design-course) · ₹18-38K per course (estimate) · Soul Fashion Academy - [Ethnic Wear Design & Embroidery Courses by Anthariya by Nidhi Gowda](https://mytribe.in/anthariya_/ethnic-wear-design-embroidery-courses) · ₹48-65K per course (estimate) · Anthariya Designer Studio - [Fashion Design & Boutique Management Courses by Chaithu Gowda](https://mytribe.in/classy.designerhouse/fashion-design-boutique-management-courses) · ₹18-55K per course (estimate) · Classy Fashion Academy - [Fashion Designing & Tailoring Courses by Devansh Boutique](https://mytribe.in/devanshrentalhouse/fashion-designing-tailoring-courses) · ₹10K-1.3L per course (estimate) · Devansh Designer Boutique & Rental House - [Ethnic Wear Design & Embroidery Classes by Soul Couture](https://mytribe.in/chandana_soulcouture/ethnic-wear-design-embroidery-classes) · ₹3-15K per month (estimate) · Soul Couture - [Professional Makeup Artist Certification Course by Sushma Shetty Makeup Studio & Academy](https://mytribe.in/makeoverwith_sushmashetty/professional-makeup-artist-certification-course) · ₹45-55K per course (estimate) · Sushma's makeup Studio - [Saree Draping Academy by Asha Nagaraj](https://mytribe.in/sareedrapist_ashanagraj/saree-draping-academy) · ₹3,500-9,500 per person (estimate) · Siblings Makeover Studio (saree prepleat/ box folding and saree draping expert at Nagarbhavi - [Mehendi Training Academy by Geethanjali Mehandi Studio & Academy](https://mytribe.in/geethanjali_mehendistudio/mehendi-training-academy) · ₹18.5-24K per student (estimate) · Geethanjali Mehendi Studio & Academy - [Saree Draping Courses & Workshops by Uma Nagaraj](https://mytribe.in/bangalore_saree_drapist_uma/saree-draping-courses-workshops) · ₹6,000-8,000 per course (estimate) · Teja Nivas Apartment - [Professional Makeup & Hairstyle Courses by Prashanth Makeover](https://mytribe.in/prashanthmakeover/professional-makeup-hairstyle-courses) · ₹45-55K per course (estimate) · Prashanth Makeover - [Design College Portfolio Preparation by BrainArt Studio](https://mytribe.in/brainart.co/design-college-portfolio-preparation) · ₹2,200-2,500 per month (estimate) · BrainArt ## Book To book Riya By Preethi Raj, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Fashion%20Design%20%26%20Entrepreneurship%20Course%20by%20Riya%20By%20Preethi%20Raj.)
