Size guide
Measure once, wear it beautifully
Your measurements are the foundation of a good fit. Here is how to take them at home: about ten minutes with a soft tape measure, ideally with a friend to help.
Numbers match the measurements listed here.
Before you measure
Wear light, close-fitting clothing. Keep the tape snug but not tight, stand naturally, and measure twice. Centimetres or inches are both fine.
How to measure
- 1
Bust
Around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level under your arms and across your back.
- 2
Waist
Around your natural waist, the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the belly button.
- 3
Hips
Around the fullest part of your hips and seat, with your feet together.
- 4
Shoulder
Across your back, from the edge of one shoulder to the other, where a seam would sit.
- 5
Armhole (optional)
Around the top of your arm, passing under the armpit and over the shoulder point.
- 6
Sleeve length
From the shoulder point down to where you’d like the sleeve to end, with your arm relaxed.
- 7
Kameez length
From the highest point of your shoulder, next to your neck, down to where you’d like the kameez to end.
- 8
Front neck depth (optional)
From the base of your neck at the shoulder, down to where you’d like the front neckline to sit.
- 9
Trouser length
From your natural waist down the side of your leg to where you’d like the hem to fall.
- 10
Trouser bottom (optional)
Around the hem opening you’d like at the ankle. Measuring a favourite pair of trousers is often easiest.
- 11
Wrist or cuff (optional)
Around your wrist, or wherever your sleeve will end, with enough room to slip your hand through.
