Fit first
Size guide
Measure once, order right — fit is the #1 reason for returns, and 30 seconds with a tape saves the trouble.
Check the product’s own chart first
Every product that comes in sizes has its own size chart right on the product page. Please open the product, check its chart, pick the size that matches your measurements, and order that size. The charts below are a general (universal) guide to help you understand what each size means in inches — but always trust the specific product’s chart when it’s shown.
Because we clearly provide the size with every product, choosing the wrong size is the customer’s choice — in that case we offer a replacement (not a refund), and shipping is paid by the customer. (See Returns & Refunds.)
How to measure yourself (3 numbers do most of the work)
Use a soft measuring tape, wear light clothes, keep the tape snug (not tight).
- Bust (chest): measure around the fullest part of your chest.
- Waist: measure around the narrowest part of your waist (usually just above the belly button).
- Hips (seat): measure around the fullest part of your hips/seat.
Example: if your bust is 36", waist is 30", hips are 39" → you are usually an M on top and a 30 waist on the bottom.
Tip: if you fall between two sizes, go one size up for comfort — especially for fitted styles.
Universal TOP size chart (kurtis, tops, dresses, blouses, suits)
All measurements in inches. These are body measurements, not garment measurements.
| Size | Bust | Waist | Hip |
|---|---|---|---|
| XXS | 30 | 24 | 33 |
| XS | 32 | 26 | 35 |
| S | 34 | 28 | 37 |
| M | 36 | 30 | 39 |
| L | 38 | 32 | 41 |
| XL | 40 | 34 | 43 |
| XXL | 42 | 36 | 45 |
| 3XL | 44 | 38 | 47 |
| 4XL | 46 | 40 | 49 |
| 5XL | 48 | 42 | 51 |
| 6XL | 50 | 44 | 53 |
Free Size: some pieces (many sarees, dupattas, some kurtis) are “Free Size” — they fit a range, usually S to L (bust ~34"–40"). The product page will say if it’s Free Size.
Universal BOTTOM size chart (jeans, pants, palazzos, leggings, skirts)
Bottoms are usually ordered by waist in inches. Along with waist, your hip number matters for a good fit.
All measurements in inches.
| Waist size | Waist | Hip (seat) | Roughly equals |
|---|---|---|---|
| 26 | 26 | 35 | XS |
| 28 | 28 | 37 | S |
| 30 | 30 | 39 | M |
| 32 | 32 | 41 | L |
| 34 | 34 | 43 | XL |
| 36 | 36 | 45 | XXL |
| 38 | 38 | 47 | 3XL |
| 40 | 40 | 49 | 4XL |
| 42 | 42 | 51 | 5XL |
| 44 | 44 | 53 | 6XL |
Other numbers that help for bottoms:
- Hip (seat): the fullest part — the table above gives the ideal hip for each waist.
- Inseam / length: the inside leg length. Standard Indian women’s inseam is about 38"–40"; if a style is ankle-length or cropped, the product page will note it.
- If your waist and hip fall in different sizes, choose by the larger of the two and check the style (stretch fabrics forgive more).
Saree & blouse note
- A saree drape is Free Size; the blouse is where size matters. If a blouse piece is included, it comes as-is (usually an unstitched blouse piece) — we do not offer stitching or custom tailoring, so you’d get it tailored locally to your fit.
- Petticoats / shapewear: if the product lists sizes, use the bottom/waist chart above; if it’s Free Size, no measurement is needed.
Quick fit tips (examples)
- “I’m usually M in Zara/H&M” → you’re likely M–L here; Indian ethnic fits can run slightly slim, so if unsure, size up.
- “The kurti waist is 30 but hips 41” → 41" hip = L; pick L for the hip and it’ll sit better.
- “Between 30 and 32 waist jeans” → go 32 for daily comfort, 30 for a fitted look.
Still unsure?
Ask Kavya in chat — tell her your bust/waist/hip and the product, and she’ll suggest the size. (She won’t guess blindly; she’ll share the chart and let you decide.)
