Agbada and kaftans are cut loose, so take your usual size. Senator and native suits sit closer to the body: if you are between sizes, size up or choose Custom.
How to measure
Use a soft tailor's tape over light clothing. Keep the tape snug but not tight. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.
- 1Bust / chestWrap the tape around the fullest part, under your arms and across your shoulder blades. Keep it level.
- 2WaistMeasure around your natural waist, usually just above the navel. Breathe out normally; don't hold your stomach in.
- 3Hips / seatStand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
- 4HeightStand straight against a wall without shoes. Helpful for agbada, kaftan and gown lengths on custom orders.
