Red and Ivory Silk Brocade Kali Lehenga With Zari Work

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.

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

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

Bust, waist and hip follow the main chart above. Length is measured shoulder to hem — a gown for 5′5″–5′7″ typically runs 55–60″.Please give us your height and heel height so the hem falls where it should.

Conversions are approximate — measurements are what we actually cut to, so use the chart above wherever the two disagree.

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.
