MEASUREMENTS AND SIZES

All qamees, whether its from our collection or one that you have designed on your own, can be made on custom sizes, standard sizes as well as qamees sizes.
All you need to do is follow our simple measurement guide . You will, however, need a measuring tape and friend or family member to help you measure accurately.
Absolutely NOT!
The measurements of your body should be taken as explained in the guide.
No extra room should be added from your end. We will add the extra inches/cm based on the fitting option (Slim, Regular and Loose) you select.
Choosing the correct fittings is important. It is what will make your qamees end up fitting the way you want it to.
Slim – 6 to 6.5 inches – This is not super or extra slim. It more fitted and tapered to your body than a regular
Regular 7.5 to 8 inches – This is a more relaxed fit. The qamees is still made to your body measurements but the it does not taper in as slim.
Loose – 9 to 10 inches – Its with more room than generally required. Only go for this option if you want to wear it a causal, very relaxed qamees. We would recommend this fitting for the elderly or people quite large size.
You do not have to re-enter your measurements as long as you are satisfied with the measurements of your previous qamees.
If not, remeasure yourself.
If you think you have lost or gained weight, we recommend you to at least re-check your measurements
