Pant Style with Cross Fan Dance Costume | For Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi

Cross Fan / Cross Pleat Dance Costume

For Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi | Fully Custom Tailored

The Cross Fan (Cross Pleat) costume is a signature stage-ready design crafted for dancers who want stronger visual movement on stage. The fan is stitched to fall diagonally, creating a sharp, elongated silhouette that enhances spins, araimandi postures, and dynamic footwork. This design is especially impactful under stage lighting and during fast jathis, where the cross fan adds depth and dimension to every movement.

Material & Craftsmanship

We tailor this costume using pure Kanchipuram silk, Dharamavaram silk, silk-cotton, or art silk, depending on your preference. Every costume is made to your exact measurements, ensuring clean pleat geometry, shoulder alignment, and hip balance — the details that separate a fine costume from an ordinary one.
