Trouble wearing a sari? These ready-to-wear saris might help

It takes my mother less than 10 minutes to drape a sari to perfection, be it crisp cottons, flowing silks, or pristine pattus. I did not have that option in the US, and I wanted to make it available to a wider audience,” says Sasha, who founded the brand in 2019 and offers a range of instant saris priced between₹2,500 and ₹14,000. Now, even though they have their own range of instant saris, with pockets, in various styles like mul cotton, hand block print,, they continue to provide this service of breathing new life into your old drapes. Ready-to-wear saris require planning as they take five–10 days to get delivered. The Madras Ironing company pre-pleats around 200 saris a month during the peak festive and wedding season and charges around ₹250-300 for each sari.
