How to Measure
To ensure your bespoke Eastern wear fits flawlessly, accurate measurements are essential. Follow our guide below to measure yourself correctly, or use our standard garment size charts as a reference.
Taking Your Body Measurements
Keep the measuring tape comfortably snug but not tight. We recommend having someone assist you for the most accurate results.
1Shoulder
Measure across the top of your back, from the edge of one shoulder bone straight across to the other.
2Chest & Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape straight across your back and parallel to the floor.
3Natural Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your torso, typically right above your belly button.
4Hips
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.
5Sleeve Length
Measure from the top shoulder seam down the outside of your arm to your desired cuff length.
6Kameez / Shirt Length
Measure from the highest point of your shoulder, straight down to your desired hemline.
Specialty Silhouettes: Maxis, Gowns, and Sarees
Maxis & Floor-Length Gowns: Measure from the highest point of your shoulder straight down to the floor. You must wear the exact heels you plan to pair with the outfit while measuring to ensure the hemline hovers perfectly.
Saree Blouses & Cholis: Please provide your exact bust circumference, under-bust circumference, and your desired blouse length (measured from the shoulder down to the midriff).
