It's never too late to learn! I was so happy to teach this wonderful student, who is nearing 60, proving that passion for sarees has no age limit.
The secret to perfect pleats is in the details. Here, I am carefully ironing a beautiful purple silk saree to set the fluffy pleats for a client's brother's wedding.

About Featured
What makes my signature 'Fluffy Pleats' different is how they handle fabric weight; I teach you to manage everything from heavy bridal silks to slippery crepes without the pleats falling flat. Whether you are draping a bride or prepping for your own event, the technique is the same: precision, steam ironing, and the right pinning method.
My Approach
Saree draping is not just about tucking and pleating; it is about how the fabric sits on your body. My studio in Nagarbhavi specializes in the 'Fluffy Pleat' technique, which adds volume and elegance to any saree—essential for brides who want that fuller look without the fabric clinging flat. If you do not have the time to drape on the big day, I offer professional pre-pleating services, including hanger and box folding, so your saree is ready to wear in minutes.
The Academy
Beyond services, my passion is teaching. I started Siblings Makeover Studio & Academy to help women gain financial independence. I have trained over 600 students across Bengaluru, ranging from college students to homemakers. Our workshops cover more than just draping; we teach ironing, box folding for business, and how to handle different body types—plus-size, slim, or elderly.
The Workshop Experience
In my one-day certification workshops, you get hands-on practice, not just demonstrations. We provide everything from steam irons to individual ironing boards. Whether you join my group sessions in Banashankari or opt for a private one-on-one masterclass, you will leave with the confidence to start your own work-from-home saree draping business. It is about gunamattadinda (quality work)—that is my promise to you.
