In this workshop, I teach the 'box folding' pre-pleating technique, which allows you to store your saree pre-pleated and wear it perfectly in under two minutes. You will practice this on real fabric with my personal guidance, so you leave with the muscle memory to drape confidently at your next event without needing anyone else's help. ### Why Master Draping? Many women avoid wearing sarees because they find the process intimidating or time-consuming. My goal is to remove that hesitation. Whether you are prepping for a wedding or want to incorporate sarees into your daily wardrobe, knowing the right technique makes all the difference. ### What We Cover My workshops are designed to be practical. We don't just watch demos; you handle the fabric. We focus on: * **Regional Styles:** Learn the precise techniques for Nauvari (Brahmani and Konkani styles), Bengali, and Gujarati drapes. * **Modern Hacks:** How to use safety pins and tucking tricks to keep your saree secure and neat all day, even if you are dancing or moving around. * **Pre-Pleating:** The essential skill for busy professionals. Learn how to iron and box-fold your pallu and pleats so they are ready to wear instantly. ### Why Choose My Workshop? * **ISO & MSME Certification:** Every participant receives a certificate upon completion, which adds value if you are looking to start your own styling or makeup business. * **Personal Attention:** I keep batch sizes small. If you don't get the pleat right the first time, we do it again. I stay with you until the fold is perfect. * **Safe Space:** The academy is exclusively for women, creating a comfortable environment to practice freely. Everything you need is provided at the studio. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. By the end of the session, you will handle your sarees with the same grace as a professional stylist. ## About Shalmia Makeover I’m Shalmali.

I started these saree draping sessions to ensure every woman can handle her own wardrobe with ease, no matter the occasion.
