Sizing & Fit

The final fit of your garments depends on the accuracy of the measurements you provide, so it's crucial to send the correct dimensions. Here are some general guidelines to help you take measurements with greater precision:

1. Prepare Your Space: If possible, stand in front of a mirror so you can monitor the process, or ask someone for assistance. Stand straight and comfortably, with your arms hanging loosely at your sides. Tie your hair up, and avoid sucking in your stomach.

2. Use the Right Tools: We recommend using a measuring tape with inch measurements. Hold the tape snugly against your body—not too tight, but not loose either—to ensure accurate measurements.

3. Wear Similar Garments: If you're measuring for a saree blouse, it's best to wear a thin dress or a well-fitting saree blouse with a regular bra underneath while taking measurements. This will help ensure the final fit is just right.

4. Consider Your Comfort Level: Some people prefer loose-fitting garments, while others like a tighter fit. Adjust the tape measure accordingly to reflect your comfort level. Refer to the measurement guide below to choose the size closest to your preferences.

By following these guidelines, your measurements will be accurate, resulting in a well-fitted outfit. If you have any questions or need assistance with the measurements, don't hesitate to call our customer care team at +1 (630) 407 7419 for support.

 

How To Take blouse Measurements

Blouses play a key role in styling a saree, chaniya choli, or lehenga. It is important to take accurate body measurements before purchasing a blouse online. Our blouse sizes are tailored based on bust measurements.

 

MEASUREMENT OF PRE STITCHED CUSTOM BLOUSES ON OUR WEBSITE

*If your underbust, shoulder, or armhole measurements are larger than usual, you may select a size accordingly and request fitting or alteration services, or contact us for assistance.

*These measurements are in inches and represent body measurements, not garment measurements. Please choose the size that is closest to your body measurements. 

 

HOW TO TAKE PERFECT BLOUSE MEASUREMENT?

  

 

Here is step by step method of taking measurement.

UPPER BUST

  

BUST

Wrap the measuring tape around your body, ensuring it passes over the fullest part of your bust, right at the centerline, without going over the top or under the breast.

 

 

UNDER BUST

Mark the spot where your blouse will end and measure your body circumference at that point. Wrap the measuring tape around your chest at this level, also known as the upper waist.

 

SHOULDER WIDTH

Measure from the back of your neck, across the top of your shoulders, from one edge to the other. Keep your body straight and do not bend or hunch your shoulders while taking the measurement.

 

ARMHOLE 

Measure the circumference around the shoulder edge, with the tape passing through the underarm at that level. 

 

SLEEVES AROUND

Measure the circumference of your arm at the level where you want your sleeves to end (cap, short, elbow length, 3/4 length, or long).

DIFFERENT SLEEVES LENGTH 

 

BLOUSE LENGTH

Measure from the middle of the top of your shoulder to the point where you want your blouse or choli to end. This is typically about 1-3 inches below the lower edge of your bust, usually around 14-15 inches.

 

Apex Point

Neck Front 

Neck Back

 

 

Lehengas

The waist of our lehengas is fully adjustable with drawstrings on the sides. The waist measurements provided are approximate garment measurements and may vary by 2-3 inches depending on the styling of the outfit.

	Waist	Length
Regular	32-36	39-43
Extra large	36-42	39-49

Note: These are body measurements in inches and not garment measurements. Choose the size that is closest to or slightly larger than your body measurements.

Please provide your actual body measurements; avoid adjusting them to be tighter or looser. If you prefer a tighter or looser fit, you can specify this in the checkout notes when ordering online. Note that some styles, such as crop tops or long blouses with peplum, are designed to be worn with a looser fit.
