Recommended Step-by-Step Procedure
1. Measure Flat, Never on Your Body
Take your favorite kurti that fits you comfortably. Lay it flat on a hard table and smooth out all folds.
2. Measure Armpit to Armpit (Chest)
Place the tape 1 inch below the sleeve junction and measure straight across. If it measures 21 inches, your size is a standard Pakistani Medium.
3. Verify Daaman Width & Hip Opening
Measure the width where the side chaaks (slits) start. Ensure it provides at least 2 inches of ease beyond your natural hip circumference for easy sitting.
