2. Guide to Choosing Your Garment Size (MS CHIKAN ARTS)

 

This format focuses on the actionable steps a customer needs to take, highlighting the crucial distinction between Body Measurement and Garment Measurement based on the fit they want.

 

Step 1: Determine Your Fit Preference

 

Decide how you want the garment to fit, and determine your target Garment Bust Size by adding inches to your Body Bust Measurement:

• Fitted Look: Add $2$ inches to your Body Chest Measurement.

• Relaxed Fit (Recommended for Chikankari): Add $4$ inches to your Body Chest Measurement.

Example	Your Body Chest Size	Target Garment Bust Size	Recommended Size
Fitted	$36$ inches	$36 + 2 = \mathbf{38}$ inches	M/38
Relaxed	$36$ inches	$36 + 4 = \mathbf{40}$ inches	L/40

 

Step 2: Take Accurate Body Measurements

 

Measure around the fullest parts of your body:

• Bust: Around the fullest part of your chest.

• Waist: Around your natural waistline (above the belly button).

• Hip: Around the fullest part of your hips (about $8$ inches down from the natural waist).

 

Step 3: Select Your Final Size

 

Compare your target Garment Bust Size and your Body Measurements (Waist/Hip) against the chart above.

Key Tips for Selection:

• Between Sizes? Always order the larger size for a more comfortable or relaxed fit. A larger size is easier to alter than a smaller one.

• Larger Tummy/Hips? Pay special attention to your Hip/Waist measurements. If they are larger than the garment's dimensions for your chosen Bust size, opt for a size up.

• Margins: Garments generally have little to no margin, so choosing the correct size is essential.

3. Garment Information & Care Notes

 

This section summarizes the manufacturing and alteration details for transparency.

• Manufacturing: All products are hand-made and hand-stitched. Due to the nature of this process, slight variations in measurements are possible.

• Alterations: Minor alterations are easy to perform, especially if you choose a slightly larger size. Do not hesitate to have minor adjustments made for a perfect fit.

• Fabric & Style: The fit may be affected by the fabric type (e.g., cotton, rayon, modal) and the specific garment's style. Refer to the product description for length details.
