All our measurements are garment measurements in inches, not body measurements. About 2 inches of ease is already built in, so if your own chest measures 36, order M.
Typical garment measurements
This is our standard grading. Every product page carries its own chart, and where the two differ, trust the one on the product page.
| Size | Shoulder | Chest | Waist | Hip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 14 | 36 | 33 | 40 |
| M | 14 | 38 | 35 | 42 |
| L | 14.5 | 40 | 37 | 44 |
| XL | 15 | 42 | 39 | 45 |
| 2XL | 16 | 44 | 41 | 47 |
3XL and above are made in smaller numbers. Where we have them, the measurements are listed on that product page.
How to measure yourself
Use a soft measuring tape, over light clothing, and keep the tape level rather than pulled tight.
- Shoulder: across the back, from the tip of one shoulder to the tip of the other.
- Chest: around the fullest part of the bust, under the arms.
- Waist: around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel.
- Hip: around the fullest part, about 8 inches below the waist.
The easier way to check
Take a kurta you already own and like the fit of, lay it flat, and measure it across the chest from seam to seam. Double that number and match it to the chest column above. This is more reliable than measuring your body.
Between two sizes?
For a straight cut kurta or a shirt, go up. For a fitted salwar set, go with the smaller size if the difference is under an inch.
Your size is sold out, or nothing fits
We cut and stitch in our own unit in Medavakkam, Chennai, so we can make most pieces to your measurements, including 3XL and above. Send us the measurements above on WhatsApp at +91 63694 39328 and we will tell you what is possible and how long it will take.
Buying an unstitched salwar set? Then size does not apply. You get the fabric for the top, bottom and dupatta, and your own tailor stitches it to fit.
