Measurement Guide

How to Measure Correctly

Use a soft tailor's measuring tape. Stand upright, breathe normally, and don't pull the tape tight.

👗
Chest / Bust
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it parallel to the floor. Keep the tape snug but not tight — you should be able to breathe normally.
Most important measurement for kameez and tops.
⭕
Waist
Measure around your natural waistline — the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above your navel. Don't hold your breath and don't pull in your stomach.
Key for shalwar, trousers and fitted kurtas.
📐
Hips
Stand with your feet together. Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, usually 20–23 cm below your natural waist. Keep the tape parallel to the floor.
Critical for gharara, palazzo and wide-leg shalwar.
📏
Length (Kameez)
Measure from the highest point of your shoulder, over your bust, straight down to where you want the garment to end. For full-length, measure to mid-calf or ankle.
Pakistani brands often use a standard 42-inch (107 cm) kameez length.

Common Sizing Mistakes

1
Relying on Western size labels
Pakistani fashion brands use their own size charts. A UK size 10 or US size 6 does not directly map to Pakistani S or M — always use the cm measurement instead.
2
Not checking the specific brand chart
Khaadi's "Medium" and Sapphire's "Medium" are often different. A product page might say M, but the actual chest measurement can vary by 3–5 cm between brands.
3
Measuring over thick clothing
Always measure over lightweight clothing or directly on skin. Measuring over a thick dupatta or shawl can add 2–4 cm, pushing you into the wrong size.
4
Ignoring stitched vs unstitched
Unstitched fabric has no size — it must be stitched to your measurements. Stitched pieces follow the brand size chart. Make sure you're looking at the right column.
5
Not checking fabric stretch
Lawn and cotton fabric has almost no stretch. Jersey and khaddar may stretch slightly. If you're between sizes in a non-stretch fabric, size up.
6
Forgetting to add ease
Size charts show body measurements, not garment measurements. A size M kameez has 5–8 cm of extra fabric (ease) built in for comfort. You don't need to add extra unless you prefer loose-fit.

What the size guide gives you

The SabKapray size guide gives a standard XS to XXL chart in centimetres (size M is chest 89 to 93 cm, waist 71 to 75 cm, hips 96 to 100 cm), a cm to inch converter that suggests a size, and measuring steps. The brand's own chart is final.

The chart covers four things: tops and kameez, bottoms and shalwar, three-piece suits, and dupattas (shown in cm and inches). Treat the numbers as a general reference to find your range, then check the same measurements on the brand's own page.

How to measure yourself

Use a soft tailor's tape, stand upright, breathe normally and keep the tape snug without pulling it tight. Measure the fullest part of the chest, the natural waist (usually just above the navel) and the fullest part of the hips, keeping the tape level with the floor.

For kameez length, measure from the top of the shoulder over the bust to where you want the hem, and decide whether that is knee, mid-calf or ankle. Write the numbers down and measure twice. Compare tops, bottoms and dupattas against their own charts.

From measurements to a size

Use the widest of your three measurements when they point to different sizes. For example, a chest of 91 cm and a waist of 74 cm both sit in M, but hips of 103 cm sit in L (101 to 106 cm), so L is the safer choice for a fitted kameez or trouser.

If you fall between two sizes, think about cut and fabric. A fitted cut suggests the larger size, and a loose cut may work in the smaller one. Check whether a brand's chart gives body measurements or garment measurements, because garment measurements already include room to move.

Stitched, unstitched and stretch

Stitched pieces follow the brand's chart. Unstitched fabric has no size: it is cut to your measurements, so give your tailor the numbers and a well-fitting suit to copy, and check the metres supplied.

Lawn and cotton have almost no stretch, so if you are between sizes in those fabrics, the larger size is usually safer. Cotton and lawn can also shrink slightly in the first wash, so leave a little room.

Fit, returns and buying from overseas

Fit-related exchanges are accepted by some brands and not others, and reduced pieces and cut fabric are often excluded, so read the brand's rule before you order. Check who pays return shipping and how long you have to ask.

From outside Pakistan, a return can be slow and costly, so take extra care with measurements and keep screenshots of the size chart and your order. The guide to sizing for overseas buyers goes through it step by step.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my size change between brands?
Each brand sets its own chart and cut, so the same letter can fit differently. Compare your measurements in centimetres with the brand's chart instead of relying on the label.
How do I convert centimetres to inches?
Divide the centimetres by 2.54, so 90 cm is about 35.4 inches. The converter on this page does it for you, and also suggests a Pakistani size from your chest, waist or hip.
Do UK and US sizes match Pakistani sizes?
Not directly. A UK 10 or US 6 does not map neatly to a Pakistani small or medium. Use centimetre measurements and the brand's own chart instead.
Kameez ka naap kaise lein?
Use a soft tape over thin clothes, ideally with a helper. Measure chest, waist, hips and the kameez length you want, write each number down, then compare with the brand's chart.
Can I rely on the chart on this page?
Use it to find your range, not as a brand's official chart. Brands change their charts, so confirm on the brand's own page and read its exchange terms before you order.
