What is a saree draping course?
A saree draping course teaches professional techniques for pleating, pinning and shaping a saree so it sits neatly, stays comfortable for hours and flatters the wearer's body type and occasion. It covers traditional regional drapes from across India as well as modern styles for weddings, receptions, fashion shoots and events.
Professional drapers work with bridal makeup artists, boutiques, photographers and event teams, and many makeup artists add draping to increase their bridal earnings. Avan teaches saree draping in SR Nagar, Hyderabad; contact the academy to confirm the current syllabus, duration and fees.
