About Kameez Measurements

and lehenga.
What you’ll need
·
Soft tape measure
·
Print out of measurement form
Special Instructions
·
Provide all measurements in INCHES
·
When taking measurements the tape
should be held flat against the body; it should be held snug enough so not to
droop, but never so tight as to feel restrictive.
·
It is best to be measured wearing
the same undergarments, slip, strapless bra, body shaper you’ll be wearing the
day of the wedding or event. If you don't have them yet, wear the closest
approximation.
·
Please measure to the closest half
inch.
·
We strongly recommend having your
measurements taken by a professional seamstress.
·
If you cannot get professional measurement,
we strongly advise that you have someone else take the measurements for you.

when taking this measurement.

- Tips on wearing salwar kameez
1.If you are short in height, then wear a
little longer kameez. This will make you look taller. If your height is around
5 feet 3 inches then your kameez height should be around 47- 48 inches. You can
also go for Chinese collar with closed neck; it will too make you look tall.
2. If you have broad shoulders then avoid wearing puffed sleeves or Chinese collar as this will make you look much broader than you actually are.
3. If you have fat arms and therefore cannot wear sleeveless then go in for sleeves of about 5 inches length. Full or 3/4th sleeves are equally good option. This will hide the flab on your arms and your hands will look thinner.

4. Salwars and churidars are made in different styles according to the trends and outfit. Currently Patiala Salwar, Dhoti salwar, Straight Pant salwar, Parallel Pants, Trousers like pajamas with short kurtis / tops are in vogue. You can keep checking our website for latest trends & designs which can be bought online.
5. Churidar salwar looks good on long kameez, Anarkali style salwar kameez and short kameez with Patiala salwar gives you a traditional look.
6. If you have a slight belly then you should try and wear a salwar or churidar around your naval area, as it will pull in your stomach and make you look thinner. Tucks or strings might be out of fashion but they give a very good fit to the Kameez. Avoid Organza or any stiff cloth if you want to look slimmer. Go for crepes and georgettes to get that sexy slim look.
7. If you have a long torso, then go for short kameez. Long kameez will make you look taller.
8. Churidars don’t look nice on long legs. Patiala Salwar is a best option for long legged girls.
9. If you are on a fatty side then say no no to bold prints and heavy embroidery as it will make you look more fatty.
