Measurement Guide
Use this guide to take accurate measurements for your made-to-order abaya. Precise measurements ensure the best possible fit.
What You Need
- A flexible cloth measuring tape
- A fitted base garment (thin layer) — do not measure over bulky clothing
- A mirror or a friend to help take back measurements
How to Measure
Stand straight and relaxed. Keep the tape parallel to the floor where indicated. Do not pull the tape tight — allow 1–2 cm of ease for each measurement.
Required Measurements
- Shoulder Width — measure straight across the back from shoulder tip to shoulder tip
- Bust — measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level
- Waist — measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist
- Hip — measure around the fullest part of your hips, about 20 cm below your natural waist
- Sleeve Length — measure from the shoulder tip down to where you want the sleeve to end
- Total Garment Length — measure from the top of your shoulder down to your desired hemline
- Wrist Circumference — measure around your wrist at the bone
Optional Measurements
- Neck Circumference — measure loosely around the base of your neck
- Upper Arm — measure around the fullest part of your upper arm
- Back Length — measure from the nape of the neck straight down to the natural waist
Tips for Accuracy
- Take measurements in the morning before a meal for consistency
- Wear the undergarments you plan to wear with the abaya
- Measure twice — use the second reading if they differ
- Record measurements in centimetres (cm) for precision
