Meet Dolly Jain, The Professional Saree Drapist Who Charges ₹1.10 Lakh To Drape 1 Saree

Born and raised in Bengaluru, Dolly Jain was married into a family where her mother-in-law wouldn’t let her wear anything besides a saree. Apparently, it took her 45 minutes every day to drape a saree and she didn’t like it one bit. She wished she was allowed to wear a kurta instead. But as time went by, she fell in love with the six yards of fabric, reported Firstpost.
