Vanguard Kurta

All measurements are in inches, taken on the body rather than on a garment. If you are between two sizes, take the larger - a piece can be taken in, but it cannot be let out past its seam allowance.

Any piece in the house can also be cut to your own measurements, at no additional cost. If you are ordering for a date, that is usually the better route.

How to measure

Chest or bust - around the fullest part, tape level, arms down.

Waist - at the narrowest point, usually just above the navel. Do not hold your breath.

Hip - around the fullest part, roughly eight inches below the waist.

Shoulder - from the bone at one shoulder to the bone at the other, across the back.

Sleeve - from the shoulder bone, over a slightly bent elbow, to the wrist bone.

Have someone else take them if you can. Measurements taken on yourself run small, particularly across the back.

Made to measure

For made-to-order pieces we take forty measurements at the atelier, or you can enter your own when you order and we will confirm them before anything is cut.
