Size Guide
Measure once, properly, and ordering gets much easier.
How to measure
Measure over your underclothes, not over a kurta, and keep the tape snug but not tight. Have someone help you if you can — self-measuring the bust and hip is where most errors creep in.
- 1 Bust: around the fullest part of the chest, tape level under the arms and across the shoulder blades.
- 2 Waist: around the narrowest part of your natural waist, usually just above the navel.
- 3 Hip: around the fullest part of the hip, roughly 8 inches below the waist.
- 4 Shoulder: across the back, from the tip of one shoulder bone to the other.
- 5 Length: from the shoulder seam straight down to where you want the hem to finish.

Between two sizes?
Take the larger one. Ethnic wear is far easier to take in than to let out, and our pieces are cut with a comfortable rather than a body-hugging fit. If your bust and waist fall in different sizes, size to the bust.
Standard garment lengths
These are our default finished lengths. Where a piece differs, the product page says so.
