Master the art of the perfect drape from your own home. Whether you are in Bengaluru or abroad, my one-on-one virtual sessions help you gain the confidence to drape any saree, perfectly and independently.

This is a moment from an online class with a student from Ambala. She says I answer her questions even before she asks them. That's because after teaching for so long, mujhe pata hai na saamne se question kya aayega.

About this collection

When we hop on a call, it is not just me showing you how to drape. I use a professional draping stand and a multi-camera setup so you can see exactly where your hands need to be. If your pleats are uneven or your pallu length is off, I can see it in real-time and fix it instantly, just like I would if you were standing right in my studio.

Distance is truly no barrier to learning. Over the years, I have taught women from the US, UK, Australia, and all across India, helping them get past the fear of pinning or pleating a tricky fabric. The sessions are conducted via Zoom or WhatsApp, and they are fully personalized to your height, body type, and the specific saree you want to learn with.

How the Online Session Works

  • Clear Setup: You place your device at a distance so I can see your full silhouette. This allows me to guide your movements as you drape.
  • Technical Mechanics: We break down the basics, like the 'three arms' measurement for your pallu or how to pin heavy Kanjivaram without tearing the fabric. I anticipate where you might get stuck, so I explain those 'pain points' before you even ask.
  • Recording: You are welcome to record the session. Having a personalized video of your own practice is helpful to refer back to before a wedding or office event.

Whether you are a bride-to-be needing to look flawless on your big day or a working professional who wants to wear a saree to the office without needing a stylist, I am here to help. We start from scratch, and we do not stop until you are confident enough to do it entirely on your own. It is about removing the drama of draping so you can just enjoy the look.
