The subtle gleam of these silver-toned and brass-like costume pins, arriving in neat packs of 100, immediately brings to mind the meticulous precision required to secure a dancer's pleats or a wedding guest's pallu. At Shanthi Tailors, we understand that the smallest details make the biggest difference on stage or during a significant event. These 'without loop' pins are a staple in our workshop for good reason, providing discreet yet robust fastening for various traditional garments, particularly critical for the dynamic movements of Bharatanatyam. They are designed to hold fabric securely without bulky heads or snagging.
For over 57 years, Shanthi Tailors has seen countless costumes brought to life, and we know the importance of seamless presentation. These specialized pins are engineered for just that—to provide essential support while remaining virtually undetectable, ensuring your focus stays on the artistry of your Bharatanatyam dance or classical performance.
When preparing a Bharatanatyam costume, use these pins to secure the front pleats of the skirt from the inside, positioning them carefully to ensure the pleats hold their sharp lines through every aramandi and step. They're also excellent for temporarily holding shoulder drapes or adjusting blouse fits backstage. Our dancers tell us they're indispensable for those last-minute adjustments that make all the difference, making them a must-have in any dance kit.

They are particularly useful for holding saree pleats, securing dupatta drapes, or making discreet adjustments to costume blouses and skirts, ensuring everything stays perfectly in place during a performance or Arangetram without visible pinheads. We’ve used them in our own workshop since 1967 for precise costume tailoring and know their value for any bharatanatyam dress.
