About Saree Pre-pleating Service
Why I Love Pre-pleating Sarees
For me, a saree is more than just a dress - it's tradition, nostalgia, and a whole vibe on its own. Paatheenganna (if you see), seeing a bride or her family stress-free because of my pre-pleating? Super satisfying.
My Pre-pleating Method
- Every saree is pleated to your size, so it sits just right - no awkward tugs or loose ends.
- I use a steam iron for Kanjivaram saree pleating and other delicate silks, so the folds are crisp but the fabric stays safe.
- Pins and clips hold the pleats till you’re ready - literally a ready-to-wear saree pleats experience.
- I can do this for one saree or bulk orders, for brides, cousins, chithi (aunties), anyone.
Who This is For
- Brides who want less drama on their Muhurtham or engagement
- Families with multiple sarees for weddings (including bulk orders)
- Even if you’re not in Chennai - just ship your saree to me, I’ve handled ones from Mumbai to the US
Delivery Choices
- Box fold: neat and travel-friendly, easy for storage
- Hanger fold: keeps the pleats fluffy, perfect if you want to hang before wearing
If you want that pre-pleated silk saree for weddings, with zero last-minute stress and a perfect fit, this is for you. I’ll treat your saree with TLC, just like I do for my own.

My Story
Hey, naan Soundarya. Saree-na, not just dress pa, it's a whole vibe. I get super emotional seeing those Appa Love moments, especially with my brides. Oru ponnu-ku wedding day is big, and making her look stunning in her saree - that's my joy. I've draped sarees for ladies from Japan, England... their excitement for our culture, adhu romba sandhosham-a irukum (makes me so happy). When I'm free, I'm with my kids or ogling sarees at a family wedding! Teaching saree draping is my passion too. I want to share this art, my love.
