The chart, in inches.
Measurements are taken on the body, not on a garment — so measure yourself, not a kurta you already own. Every piece here is cut after you order, which is why the chart runs from a 30 inch bust to a 52 and why sitting between two rows is not a problem.

How to measure
Use a soft tape, keep it level, and do not pull it tight — a tape that digs in gives you a size that does the same.
- Bust — around the fullest part, tape flat across the back.
- Waist — around your natural waistline, the narrowest part, not where your jeans sit.
- Hip — around the widest part, usually about eight inches below the waist.
- Length — shoulder to where you want the hem to finish.
Wear the undergarments you would wear with the outfit while you measure. It changes a bust measurement by an inch either way, and an inch is a size.
Between two sizes
Take the larger one for a kurta and tell us where it needs taking in. Cotton has no give, so a bust measurement that lands halfway between two rows will sit tight on the larger number, not loose on the smaller.
If two of your three measurements point at different rows — a 38 bust with a 44 hip is ordinary and the chart cannot hold it — send all three. The pieces are cut to order, so the pattern follows your measurements rather than the nearest row.
Past 6XL, or nowhere near the chart
Still yours. Height, sleeve length, a longer kurta, a size past 6XL, a measurement that sits between two rows: all of it is a conversation rather than a problem. Send your height and your bust, waist and hip, and we cut to those.
The cut changes the fit
The same size reads differently across the five silhouettes. An Anarkali takes its shape from an empire line, so the bust measurement matters more than the waist. A straight cut falls from the shoulder and forgives the waist entirely. A gharara or a farshi is fitted at the kurta and loose everywhere below it.
Every piece is made in every cut, so the silhouette is chosen on the order, not by which piece you pick. The five cuts, and what separates a gharara from a farshi.
