Size, length & personal measurements
Personal measurements
If you would like us to check your fit using your own measurements, select one of the available size options and enter the relevant measurements below in the Note / Any Special Requests field before adding to your bag. State whether every value is in centimetres or inches. Any personal-fit adjustment is subject to confirmation before cutting.
Provide body measurements, not another garment's flat widths. Do not add extra looseness allowance; the atelier will assess the design's ease. Enter desired finished lengths separately. Shoulder and sleeve dimensions are taken personally, not assumed from a standard S–L sleeve chart.
Body measurements for the complete look
- Full bust circumference
- Natural waist circumference
- Full hip circumference
- Shoulder width: shoulder tip to shoulder tip across the back
- Upper-arm circumference at the fullest part
- Wrist circumference
- Arm length: shoulder tip to wrist, with the elbow slightly bent
- Neck circumference at the base of the neck
Also provide your height without shoes. For a floor-length piece, tell us the heel height you plan to wear.
Finished lengths and garment-specific details
Daira dress
- Requested finished length: high shoulder point beside the base of the neck to the desired hem
Parwaaz one-shoulder waistcoat
- Requested finished length: high shoulder point on the covered shoulder to the desired hem
The original one-shoulder shape and tie placement are retained.
Samaa high-neck cape
- Requested finished length: high shoulder point beside the base of the neck to the desired hem
The original high neck and cape construction are retained.
Shared body measurements only need to be entered once. Label each requested length with the garment name so we can apply it to the correct piece.
For a shaped-waist fit request: front high-shoulder-point-to-natural-waist length over the bust, and back neck-base-to-natural-waist length. For a closely shaped bodice, the atelier may also request high bust, shoulder-to-bust-point length and bust-point spacing. This is a fitting check, not an automatic change from a loose or circular dress to a fitted design.
How to measure
- Measure over the undergarments you normally wear, with a soft tape comfortably snug, not tight. Keep circumference measurements level.
- Bust: around the fullest part. Natural waist: where the body bends at the waist. Full hip: around the fullest part of the hips and seat.
- Circumferences are full measurements around the body, never half-widths. Shoulder width is across the back from shoulder tip to shoulder tip.
- Arm length starts at the shoulder tip, not at the neck. Keep the elbow slightly bent. Dress and top lengths start at the high shoulder point beside the base of the neck; trouser and skirt lengths start at the top of the intended waistband.
- Use one unit throughout and label it cm or inches. If a measurement is unclear, contact us rather than guess.
