Students say
From people who took it
“I came to know about her from Instagram and joined her 1 day pre-pleating and box folding class. She explains each and every step in detail until you understand it well. She also gives practice sessions which clear all your doubts. If you wish to learn any type of saree draping I would highly recommend her to everyone.”
“On day one itself Mayuri made it possible with her online classes which others could not with their personal offline classes. Following her instructions I draped a saree and the outcome was unbelievable. She has hacks and tricks for every problem area, for every fabric.”
“She taught me how to pack and pre-pleat and drape a saree in just 3 days, from beginner to a pro level. I was always scared of wearing a saree and she has given me the confidence that I can do it.”
