Naanu Asha Nagaraj. Saree draping is more than a job for me and my sister—it’s our life. We started 'Siblings Makeover Studio & Academy' and for 5 years, every bride’s smile and every student’s first perfect pleat makes it all worth it. Yarella manele kutu earnings na start madbeku antha ankondeedira (Whoever wants to start earning from home), I want to help. Training 600+ students, watching them grow, that’s my real joy. More than sarees, it’s about building strong, independent women. ### My work - **Makeup & Saree Draping for Every Occasion**: I do bridal and special event makeup, saree draping, plus saree pre-pleating service like my fluffy pleats. - **Signature Fluffy Pleats**: My fluffy saree pleats stay perfect and stand out—no more flat pleats at your event. - **Workshops & Private Classes**: Group or one-on-one saree draping workshop for anyone—homemakers, students, all body types. - **Festival Special**: Varamahalakshmi Idol Draping: Learn to drape sarees for the goddess idol during Varamahalakshmi festival in our special class.
