Size & Measurements
Measuring for an Indian outfit requires attention to specific areas of the body to ensure a perfect fit. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to measure for Indian outfit sizes:
1. **Bust/Chest:** Measure around the fullest part of your bust/chest, ensuring the measuring tape is parallel to the ground.
2. **Waist:** Measure around the narrowest part of your waistline, usually just above the belly button.
3. **Hips:** Measure around the fullest part of your hips, ensuring the measuring tape is parallel to the ground.
4. **Length:** For kurtis, measure from the shoulder to the desired length (e.g., knee-length, calf-length, ankle-length). For bottoms, measure from the waist to the desired length (e.g., ankle-length, floor-length).
5. **Shoulder:** Measure from one shoulder point to the other, across the back.
6. **Sleeve Length:** Measure from the shoulder point to the desired sleeve length (e.g., short sleeve, elbow-length, full sleeve).
7. **Armhole:** Measure around the fullest part of your arm, typically under the armpit.
8. **Neck:** Measure around the base of your neck, allowing room for comfort.
Remember to keep the measuring tape snug but not too tight, and stand in a relaxed posture while taking measurements. If possible, have someone assist you for more accurate measurements.
Additionally, it's essential to refer to the size chart provided by the specific brand or designer, as sizes may vary between different manufacturers. Always choose the size that corresponds closest to your body measurements for the best fit.
