Complete Kurta Set Size Guide: How to Measure Yourself at Home

Nothing ruins the excitement of a new kurta set faster than it arriving in the wrong size. The good news? Getting an accurate fit takes less than five minutes with a measuring tape and this simple guide.

Before you start: Use a soft measuring tape, wear well-fitted (not baggy) clothing while measuring, and keep the tape snug but not tight.

How to Measure Bust

Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it parallel to the ground. Don't pull the tape tight — it should sit comfortably against your body.

How to Measure Waist

Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline, usually just above the belly button. Breathe normally while measuring — don't suck in.

How to Measure Hip

Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips, roughly 20cm below your natural waistline.

How to Measure Kurta Length

Measure from the highest point of your shoulder straight down to where you'd like the kurta to end — typically mid-calf for straight kurtas or ankle-length for Anarkali sets.

Common sizing mistakes to avoid:

Measuring over bulky clothing, which adds inches and leads to sizing up unnecessarily
Pulling the tape too tight, which gives a falsely small measurement
Not checking the specific size chart for each product — sizing can vary slightly between fabric types and cuts
Ignoring ease — if you plan to layer jewelry, a jacket, or want a relaxed fit, size up

Between Two Sizes? Here's What To Do

If your measurements fall between two sizes, we generally recommend sizing up — especially for structured fabrics like Vichitra silk or silk slub, which have less stretch than rayon or cotton blends. A slightly relaxed fit is always more comfortable for long wedding-day events than a fitted one.
