From Fabric to Form
Welcome to a warm, hands-on cultural experience where 6 yards of fabric come to life! Join us for a relaxed session filled with simple pleating hacks, rich regional stories, and steaming cups of spiced chai. Whether you want to master the classic Nivi or try the bold Nauvari drape, we take the "scary" out of saree wearing and make it feel completely natural, secure, and fun.
Drape It Like You Mean It
Now the fun really begins!
You’ll learn how to gracefully pleat, wrap and tuck your saree to create a look that’s both stunning and secure. Guiding you step-by-step, helping you feel confident with every fold and tuck.
Timeless and Versatile
The Nivi drape is your go-to for timeless style and comfort. Clean pleats, elegant pallu placement, and effortless charm make it a staple. Perfect for beginners and a must-know for anyone diving into sari styling.
Nauvari (The Warrior Drape)
Pants are Passé instead choose yards of magic, zero restrictions! This Maharashtrian-style drape is all about movement, comfort, and flair. You’ll learn the basics of wrapping and tucking, discovering a style that feels bold, graceful, and uniquely you.
Work from Home Power Suit
Full disclosure: this isn’t always my everyday outfit—but it’s definitely my favorite! I’m your sari guide (though you’ll just as often find me in jeans or trousers). For me, the sari is where heart and heritage meet. I love showing people that these “mysterious” yards of fabric aren’t just for weddings or statues, they’re living, breathing, and surprisingly practical garments. My mission is to take the “scary” out of sari-wearing and help you feel as confident as you do in your favourite wear.

Recent reviews of Art of Draping a Saree Class
- 5/5 from Alina Tsakonas, attended Oct 2026: Thank you, Anusha, for a great class. Learnt not only how to drape a saree but also about the various styles, designs and fabrics which sarees are made. Anusha was very patient with me and towards the end of the class I was confident(albeit with practice at home) that I could drape my own saree and wear with confidence.
- 5/5 from Nirmi Ranasinghe, attended Oct 2026: So lovely and caring. Very passionately and patiently teaching. Thank you
- 5/5 from Sunayana Tonks, attended Mar 2026: What a wonderful class. Always wanted to learn how to drape a saree. A good time to learn as I have an upcoming wedding to attend. Anusha was excellent in this regard. Beautiful conversation, such authentic and traditional setting of the workshop, wow. Anusha patiently thought me how to successfully wear a saree and followed up after the class. Thank you so much. Wish you and your business all the very best.
- 5/5 from Prem Devi, attended Mar 2026: Thank you so much! For years I wanted to be able to wear saree without pins and constant adjusting, now thanks to Anusha I can do this easily.
- 5/5 from Vaishnovi Rajan, attended Dec 2025: Great session. Anusha was patient and extremely helpful in the saree Drapping process. Will be back to Learn different draping styles.

Namaste! I’m Anusha – founder of Reeti Shaala, a space to celebrate the richness of Indian culture through storytelling, traditions, and hands-on experiences. After living in different parts of the world and now calling Melbourne home, I’ve come to deeply value the role culture plays in grounding us and bringing people together. That’s what inspired me to start hosting workshops that connect us back to our roots joyfully and meaningfully. One of my most loved offerings is the Saree Draping Workshop. It’s more than just a class about fashion; it’s a celebration of heritage, identity, and the many ways a saree can be worn with confidence and pride. Growing up in India, I watched my mother and the women in my community drape sarees with such ease and elegance. Over the years, I began experimenting with different draping styles, and soon people started asking me how I did it. That curiosity became a doorway to something deeper—a chance to share this beautiful tradition in an inclusive and creative way. Whether you’re reconnecting with your roots, exploring something new, or getting ready for a festive celebration like Diwali, my classes are designed to make you feel welcome, inspired, and empowered. I’d love to have you join me in rediscovering the beauty of tradition, one pleat, one plate, and one festival at a time. @reetishala
