About Saree Draping & Styling Services
What I Do
Draping a saree is personal for me. I want you to feel confident, comfortable, and like yourself—whether it's your wedding, a festival, or just a photoshoot. I pay close attention to small details, from hiding every single pin to making sure the saree moves with your body.
Signature Touches
- My 'gundu' pleats give your saree real volume and a rich look
- I always guide you on in-skirt choices and how to set your dupatta for that finished vibe
- I use techniques like side sculpting for a flattering silhouette, not just a routine wrap
Saree Draping for Every Occasion
- South Indian bridal saree draping with heavy silk and traditional jewellery—this is my main jam, and I often work with full bridal teams so your look fits together
- Saree styling for photoshoots, bridesmaids, or family, from Varamahalakshmi to wedding parties
- I offer more than 12 draping styles, from Madisar (9-yard style with just 6 yards!) to Coorgi, Bengali, and even can-can saree for extra drama
No-Stress Solutions
The pre-pleated saree service is a lifesaver—especially if you need to be event-ready in two minutes flat. I pleat, iron, and box-fold your saree so all you do is tuck and go. Available in Bangalore and Davangere, with pick-up/drop options.
Real Talk
Comfort matters. I won't make you feel stiff or pinned down. You'll actually want to dance and move. If you need something traditional, trendy, or totally unique, I've probably done it before. And yeah, sometimes those heavy sarees can be a pain, but I've got tricks to make it work aagi (just right).
