How To Take Your Measurements
Ordering a made-to-measure outfit online can feel a little confusing, but we’ll keep it simple.
For Jasnoora’s Made For You pieces, your suit is stitched using the measurements you provide. Please take your time, measure carefully, and ask someone to help you if possible.
We recommend using a soft measuring tape and taking your measurements in inches.
Before You Start
Please keep these tips in mind:
- Wear fitted clothing while measuring.
- Stand naturally, without pulling your body in.
- Keep the measuring tape flat against your body.
- Do not pull the tape too tight.
- Measure twice to make sure the number is correct.
- Ask someone else to help for more accurate results.
- If you are between two measurements, choose the more comfortable fit.
Please do not measure over bulky clothing, jackets, hoodies or loose layers.
Measurements We Need
For most Made For You suits, we may ask for the following measurements:
1. Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Keep the tape straight across your back and comfortably fitted around the front.
2. Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist.
This is usually above your belly button and below your ribs.
3. Hips
Measure around the fullest part of your hips.
Make sure the tape goes around the widest part of your lower body.
4. Shoulder
Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other shoulder across your back.
5. Armhole
Wrap the tape around the top of your arm where the sleeve joins the body.
This should feel comfortable, not tight.
6. Sleeve Length
Measure from the edge of your shoulder down to where you want the sleeve to end.
For example:
- short sleeve
- elbow length
- 3/4 sleeve
- full sleeve
7. Bicep / Upper Arm
Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm.
8. Wrist
For full sleeves, measure around your wrist where the sleeve will end.
9. Kameez Length
Measure from the top of your shoulder down to where you want the kameez to finish.
For Patiala suits, this is usually short to mid-length.
For straight-cut suits, this may be knee-length, calf-length or longer depending on the design.
10. Neck Depth — Front
Measure from the base of your neck down to how deep you want the front neckline.
If you prefer a modest neckline, keep this measurement higher.
11. Neck Depth — Back
Measure from the base of your neck down to how deep you want the back neckline.
12. Salwar / Pants Length
Measure from your waist down to your ankle, or where you want the salwar/pants to end.
For Patiala salwar, the length should allow for comfortable pleating and ankle fit.
13. Waist For Salwar / Pants
Measure around the waist area where you want your salwar or pants to sit.
This may be your natural waist or slightly lower, depending on your comfort.
14. Thigh
Measure around the fullest part of one thigh.
15. Ankle / Pauncha
Measure around your ankle where the Patiala salwar will gather at the bottom.
Please let us know if you prefer a tighter, standard or looser ankle finish.
16. Your Height
Please provide your full height.
This helps us understand overall proportions and outfit length.
Fit Preference
Please also tell us how you like your outfit to fit:
- relaxed
- standard comfortable fit
- slightly fitted
- modest loose fit
If you are unsure, we recommend choosing a comfortable standard fit.
Important Measurement Note
Your outfit will be stitched according to the measurements you submit.
Please check all measurements carefully before sending them through. Jasnoora is not responsible for fit issues caused by incorrect or unclear measurements provided by the customer.
Because each body shape and fit preference is different, minor local alterations may still be needed after delivery.
