Find your perfect fit.

KALAKARI pieces are handcrafted — each one carries the gentle irregularities of the KalaKars. The same chart appears on every product page, so you can check your size while you shop.

How to Measure
- Chest: Around the fullest part of your bust, tape parallel to the floor and snug but not tight.
- Waist: Around your natural waist — the narrowest part, roughly 2 inches above the belly button.
- Hip: Around the fullest part of your hips, about 8 inches below the waist.
- Length: From the highest point of your shoulder straight down to where you want the kurti to end.
A Note on Hand-Crafted Fit
Between two sizes? Size up — our kurtis are cut with a relaxed silhouette, and fitted styles like corset kurtis run closer to the body.
Every piece is cut and sewn by hand, so measurements can vary by 1–2 cm from piece to piece. That variation is the mark of handmade clothing, not a defect.
Dupatta lengths and embroidery placement may also shift slightly between pieces.
