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.
