About Your Questions Answered
I handle every single saree myself, meaning I prioritize precision over speed. Whether it is a stiff Kanjeevaram or a delicate crepe, I do not just fold it; I calculate pleats based on your height and waist size for a custom fit. This is not mass production, but rather hands-on care to ensure you can drape your saree in under five minutes, completely stress-free.
How do you decide the pleat size?
I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Standard pleating can sometimes look unflattering if it ignores your body type. When you book a custom session, I calculate pleats based on your height, including the heels you plan to wear, and your waist size. This ensures the pleats sit correctly and provide a clean, elegant fall.
Can you handle heavy bridal sarees?
Yes. My service is optimized for heavy Kanjeevarams, Banarasis, and designer sarees. For these fabrics, I use strategic pinning at the pallu, chest, and hip to ensure the drape remains secure and perfectly set so you can wear it without any help. I also use protective covers to prevent moisture or damage to the Zari.
What is the difference between flat and box folding?
If you are storing your sarees at home, flat folding is sufficient. However, if you are travelling, especially abroad, the compact A4 size box fold is much better. It turns your saree into a firm brick shape that fits inside a suitcase without getting crushed or crumpled.
How long does the process take?
Because I handle every saree manually, this is not an instant service. Each saree goes through a process of steam ironing to remove wrinkles, followed by careful pleating and pinning. Please reach out with your requirements well in advance so I can manage the timeline.
Where can I drop off my sarees?
You can drop off your sarees at my locations in Jayanagar, Mathikere, or Bharathnagar. I also accept deliveries across Bengaluru. If you have any specific concerns about a fabric, send me a message and we can discuss the best approach.
