Step-by-step
How to measure
Shoulder
Measure straight across the back, from the tip of one shoulder bone to the other.
Chest & bust
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level under the arms.
Waist
The narrowest part of your torso, just above the navel. Don't pull — keep it gentle.
Hip
Stand with feet together. Measure the fullest part of your hips and seat.
Kurta length
From the shoulder seam (next to the neck) straight down to where you'd like the hem to fall.
Relaxed silhouette
Our kurtas are designed with 1–2" of ease through the chest and waist. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a softer drape.
Fabric & shrinkage
Cotton and lawn pieces may shrink up to 2% on first wash. We've already factored a small allowance into the measurements above.
Custom alterations
Need a longer length or tailored chest? Our atelier offers made-to-measure on most styles for Rs. 800. Add a note at checkout.
