How to Measure my Salwar Kameez & Kaftan?
We are delighted that you have chosen to wear a Serenity brand Salwar Kameez from ShopIndia.com. You will find Salwar Kameez, also known as Salwar Kurta or Shalwar Kameez, to be a very comfortable and stylish costume. We offer here some tips to get an appropriate fit. These suggestions can guide you for Kaftan or Caftan gowns as well. Kindly measure your size over the undergarments you normally wear. Kindly hold the tape measure comfortably snug, but not tight.
BUST - Measure the fullest part of your bust from front and around the back. This is the most important measurement. For an ideal comfort fit, it is Strongly Recommended that you take your Measured Size and add 5 inches to 6 inches to arrive at the right size. This is the size you should look for in the measurements of Salwar Kameez presented on our website. We measure the costume Bust size from underarm seam-to-seam.
WAIST - Let the tape settle naturally around your waistline, and note the measurement. This typically follows the Bust size.
HIPS - Hips are the fullest part between your waist and knee. Kindly measure around the body at the fullest part usually 7inches below the waist.
SLEEVES - We measure Sleeves for our Salwar Kameez from the Seam on the Shoulder to the Cuff.

MATCHING YOUR MEASUREMENT WITH OUR SALWAR KAMEEZ SIZES
The critical measurement is the Bust size (after the comfort allowance, as explained above). Our SK product categories are based on the Bust Size. The costume's Waist and Hip size typically have little variance from the Bust size. We follow the Standard Bust size chart. We have provided the size cut-offs below.
If your Bust Size after Then your Suggested
Comfort Allowance is: ................... Size is:
Bust less than 44" ----------------------- Small, Medium Large, XL
Bust 44"-47" ----------------------------- XXL
Bust 48" ---------------------------------- Plus 1X
Bust 52" ---------------------------------- Plus 2X

Sometimes on our website you will find a size range. For instance, 2X-3X category. This means that some SKs in the 2X-3X category should fit both the 2X size and the 3X size.
