Size Guide – Find Your Perfect Fit | Couturier Design

Size Guide

Find your perfect fit across all our categories. All measurements are in centimetres (cm) unless stated otherwise. When you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort.

How to measure

Tip: Use a soft measuring tape. Measure over innerwear, not over clothes. Keep the tape snug but not tight against your body.

Bust / chest

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Waist

Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline, usually just above the navel.

Hips

Measure around the fullest part of your hips, approximately 20 cm below your waistline.

Length

Measure from the top of your shoulder straight down to where you want the garment to end.

Shoulder width

Measure from the tip of one shoulder across the back to the tip of the other shoulder.

Wrist / bangle size

Make a loose fist and measure the widest part of your hand in cm to find your bangle size.

Kurtis, tops & anarkalis

Fit note: For relaxed-fit kurtis, go with your true size. For fitted anarkalis or bodycon styles, size up if you are between sizes.
