The Perfect "Thalipil" Fan – Engineered for Movement
The Sun Fleets (Thalipil) style is iconic for its majestic "Long Fan" that touches the ground. It creates a stunning visual, but for a dancer, the length is critical—too long and you trip; too short and it breaks the line.
At Shanthi Tailors, we use our proprietary 1967 cutting formula to custom-tailor this fan to your exact height and Araimandi depth.
Why Our Custom Stitching is Different:
-
Trip-Proof Length: We calculate the fan drop based on your bending height, ensuring the fan creates a perfect semi-circle on the floor without getting under your feet during fast Tattumettu.
-
Reinforced Waist: The heavy long fan pulls on the waist. We use a double-reinforced waistband with adjustable hooks so the costume stays secure, no matter how vigorous the movement.
-
Growth Margins: Ordering for a growing child? We leave 2 inches of inner margin so the costume lasts 2+ seasons.
This Custom Set Includes:
-
Blouse: Cut high under the arm for maximum lift without riding up.
-
Pant with Sun Fleets (Long Fan): The centerpiece of the costume, stitched with high-quality silk.
-
Dhavani (Saree Drape): Pleated and pre-stitched for a perfect shape every time.
-
Seat Piece: Essential coverage for the back.
