Find Your Perfect Fit


All measurements are garment measurements in inches. We recommend measuring a well-fitting piece from your own wardrobe and comparing to our chart below.

Step 1

How to Measure

Use a soft measuring tape. Keep it parallel to the floor. Measure over light clothing or directly on the body.

Chest / Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape flat across your back.

Waist

Measure around your natural waistline — the narrowest part of your torso.

Hips

Measure around the fullest part of your hips, approximately 8 inches below your waist.

Length

Top length is measured from shoulder to hem. Pant length from waistband to hem.

Step 2

Size Chart — Garment Measurements

All measurements are in inches. These are the actual measurements of the garment, not body measurements.

M 38" 36" 42" 36" 37" 26" 14.5"

Fit Notes by Category

Each product type fits a little differently. Here's what to expect.

Co-ord Sets

Relaxed & True to Size

Our co-ord sets are cut with a relaxed silhouette — they fit true to size with comfortable ease. If you are between sizes, size up for a more relaxed drape. The kurta top has generous ease through the chest and waist.

Dresses

Relaxed with Structure

A-line and maxi dresses fit true to size with a structured bodice and flared hem. Fitted styles like waisted dresses may run snug — if your measurements are at the upper end of a size, size up. Free alterations can nip in the waist.

Shirts

Slightly Oversized

Our shirts are cut with a slightly oversized, relaxed fit — designed to be worn untucked or half-tucked with ease. If you prefer a more fitted look, size down. If unsure, our team is happy to advise — reach us on WhatsApp.

Common Questions

Size FAQs


How do I choose between two sizes?

Always size up when in between. Our free in-house alterations mean we can take in any garment to fit your exact measurements — at no extra cost. A slightly larger piece is always easier to tailor than one that's too small.

Will the fabric shrink after washing?

Our cotton pieces may experience minimal shrinkage (1–2%) on first wash. We recommend a gentle cold machine wash or hand wash, and air drying in the shade. Avoid high heat drying. Pre-washed pieces shrink significantly less.

What if the fit isn't right when my order arrives?

Bring it in to our Kolkata store and our in-house team will alter it to your exact measurements — completely free. Alternatively, within 7 days of delivery you can exchange it for a different size. Contact us on WhatsApp at +91 89814 47332.

Are the measurements in inches or centimetres?

All measurements in our size chart are in inches. To convert to centimetres, multiply by 2.54. For example, a 38" chest = approximately 96.5 cm.
