About Saree Draping Classes & Workshops
Learn to drape a saree on your own, with no fuss and no need for extra hands. I see a lot of folks saying, "Ayyo, I can't drape a saree!" That stops here. My classes are for anyone who wants to finally crack saree draping without feeling lost or awkward.
What I Teach
- Real-life, hands-on lessons - how to drape a saree by yourself, even if you’ve never tried before.
- Tricks for looking neat without spending ages ironing (yep, those no iron saree hacks are game-changers).
- Pleating made easy - no fancy tools, no burning your fingers, just simple ways to get those center pleats right.
- Tips for all body types. If you're tall or have a pear shape, I’ve got a special class just for you. Body shape saree styling is a big part of what I do.
- South Indian saree draping tutorial included, along with a few other popular styles.
Class Formats
- Certified courses for those who want to go deep or maybe start teaching others.
- One-day workshops for a quick skill boost, like learning self saree draping techniques.
