Made for you

Ready-to-wear follows the charts in this guide. When you want a piece made for you, there are three ways to work with us.

IMade to OrderDesign it yourself, in our standard sizes, and we make it in Islamabad. IIMade to MeasureCut to your measure. Measured by our Master Tailor, in Islamabad or over video. IIIBespokeA pattern for one, drafted for you, with several fittings. MTMxVirtual fittingOur virtual fitting, when you can't come to the atelier.

Choosing Made to Order on a product page? Take your measurements with the guide below and keep them to hand, or book a fitting and we'll take them for you.

Before you start

Use a soft tailor's tape, not a metal one.
Wear a light, close-fitting shirt and trousers; empty your pockets.
Stand relaxed and upright, feet together, looking ahead.
Keep the tape level and snug, never tight.
Ask someone to help with shoulders, sleeves and lengths.
Measure twice, in inches or centimetres, and don't mix the two.
Also measure a garment that fits you well and send those numbers too.
Note your height without shoes, and your weight.

How to measure

NeckAround the base of the neck where a shirt collar sits, with one finger under the tape. Your collar size is about 1 cm (½ in) more.
ChestUnder the arms, around the fullest part of the chest and across the shoulder blades. Keep the tape level, arms relaxed, and breathe normally.
StomachAround the fullest part of the stomach, usually at the navel. Stand as you normally do; don't hold it in.
Seat / hipsAround the fullest part of the seat, with your feet together.
Shoulder widthAcross the back, from the edge of one shoulder bone to the other, following the curve of the shoulders.
Sleeve lengthFrom the shoulder edge, over a slightly bent elbow, to the wrist bone. For a kurta or sherwani, measure to where you want the sleeve to end.
BicepAround the fullest part of the upper arm, with the arm relaxed.
WristAround the wrist bone. Note which wrist you wear a watch on.
Jacket / kameez lengthFrom the highest point of the shoulder, where it meets the neck, down the front to where the garment should end.
Trouser waistAround your waist where you wear your trousers, usually just below the navel, with one finger under the tape.
ThighAround the fullest part of the upper thigh, just below the crotch.
KneeAround the knee, with the leg straight.
Bottom opening (pancha)The hem width you prefer. Easiest from a favourite pair: measure the hem flat and double it.
OutseamFrom the trouser waist down the side of the leg to where the trouser should end: top of the heel for tailoring, the ankle for a shalwar.
InseamFrom the crotch down the inside of the leg to the same finishing point. Easiest taken from trousers that fit you well.

For kurta, kameez & sherwani

Kameez & sherwani lengthAs step 9, to where it should end: a kurta usually ends around mid-thigh to the knee, a sherwani just below the knee.
DamanThe hem all the way round. Measure a kameez you like flat across the hem and double it.
Shalwar lengthFrom the waist to the ankle, down the side of the leg.
CollarFor a band or sherwani collar, use your neck measurement (step 1) and tell us the collar height you prefer.

For womenswear

BustAround the fullest part of the bust, tape level across the back.
Under-bustDirectly under the bust, all the way round.
Natural waistAround the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the navel.
ArmholeAround the top of the arm, through the armpit and over the shoulder point.
