How to measure yourself
- Chest: measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level under your arms.
- Waist: measure around your natural waist, the narrowest part of your body.
- Hip: measure around the widest part of your hips.
- Length: stand straight and measure from the top of your shoulder (next to the neck) down to where you want the hem, usually the ankle.
Burqa size chart FAQ
What size burqa should I buy?
Match your chest measurement to the women’s chart above. If your chest and hip fall in different sizes, go by the larger one, since abayas are meant to fall loosely.
What length burqa is right for 5 feet 2 inches?
A 54 inch abaya suits most women around 5’2″. Choose 56 inches if you prefer the hem to touch the floor.
Is burqa size the same as abaya size?
Yes. In India the words burqa and abaya are used for the same outer garment, so this one chart works for both.
What does Free Size mean?
Free Size styles, such as kaftans, have a relaxed cut that fits most women from S to XL. Check the length on the product page.
