About My Bangalore Studio Sessions
In my studio, we don't just watch tutorials—we use specialized draping stands to build muscle memory. I’ll be right there with you, using my 'touch and fix' method to adjust your pleat tension and shoulder styling in real-time, so you walk out knowing exactly how to handle fabrics like Kanjivaram or Chiffon without needing a pro to help.
When you come to my studio, you’re not just attending a class; you’re building a skill for life. I use specialized draping stands that hold your saree taut, allowing us to focus on the mechanics of pleating without the fabric slipping. This is crucial when you are working with tricky, slippery fabrics or heavy weaves.
During our three hours together, we tackle the basics—petticoat tying, height adjustment, and those tricky chest pleats—before moving to advanced techniques like the 'Mermaid Fit' or specific pinning strategies that save your fabric from accidental tears. Whether you are a bride-to-be trying to manage your trousseau or a working professional needing a quick, corporate drape, I customize the techniques for your body type and the specific sarees you bring with you.
We also have the option to record specific segments of the tutorial on your phone, so you have a reference once you are back home. Most importantly, we do this in a judgment-free zone. If your pleats aren't perfect on the first try, sab chalta hai. We fix it, we try again, and by the time you leave, you will be draping with confidence, theek hai?
