Size Guide

Built on Indian fits. Between sizes? Size up.

All measurements below are body measurements, not garment measurements — measure yourself, not a garment you own. Our pieces are cut with ease added on top: roughly 2″ at the bust for fitted styles and 4″ for relaxed ones.

Between two sizes? Size up. A garment is far easier to take in than to let out, and shoulders are the hardest seam to alter — so prioritise a comfortable shoulder and bust fit.

How we make your size

M, L and XL are held in stock and ship straight away. Tick Get it altered on the product page if you’d like them taken in.

XXS, XS, S, XXL, 3XL and Other are cut individually to your measurements, so custom fitting is included at no extra cost. Our stylist messages you on WhatsApp within 24 hours of your order, on the number you enter at checkout, to take your measurements and confirm the fit. Nothing is cut until we have spoken.

Choose Other if none of the sizes above match you. We’ll draft the piece entirely to your measurements.

Lehenga — skirt sizing

Lehenga skirts are sized by waist, not bust. Every skirt has a drawstring or hook adjustment of roughly ±2–3″. Tell us your height and the heels you plan to wear and we’ll set the length.

Size Waist Hip Skirt length
XXS 24″ / 61 cm 33″ / 84 cm 40–42″
XS 26″ / 66 cm 36″ / 91.5 cm 40–42″
S 28″ / 71 cm 38″ / 96.5 cm 42–43″
M 30″ / 76 cm 40″ / 101.5 cm 42–43″
L 32″ / 81 cm 42″ / 106.5 cm 42–43″
XL 34″ / 86.5 cm 44″ / 112 cm 42–43″
XXL 36″ / 91.5 cm 46″ / 117 cm 42–43″
3XL 38″ / 96.5 cm 48″ / 122 cm 42–43″

Measure the lehenga waist where you actually tie the skirt — usually at or just below the navel, lower than your natural waist.

Blouse & choli

Blouse size equals your bust in inches; we add 1″ of ease. Standard blouse length is 14–15″ and is fully customisable.

Gowns & indo-western

How to measure

Use a soft fabric tape over the undergarments you’ll actually wear, ideally with someone helping. Keep the tape snug but not tight — you should fit one finger underneath.

  • Bust — around the fullest part, tape parallel to the floor.
  • Under-bust — directly beneath the bust, around the ribcage.
  • Natural waist — the narrowest part of your torso, about 1″ above the navel. Don’t hold your breath in.
  • Lehenga waist — where you’ll tie the skirt, usually at or below the navel.
  • Hip — the fullest part, 7–9″ below the natural waist, feet together.
  • Shoulder — tip to tip across the back.
  • Armhole — around the top of the arm, through the armpit.
  • Sleeve length — shoulder tip to where you want the sleeve to end, arm slightly bent.
  • Full length — shoulder to hem, wearing the heels you’ll pair it with.

Measure in the morning, and remember fabric matters: structured raw silk and brocade sit firmer than a draping georgette or chiffon.
