Finding Your Perfect Fit
Choosing the right size for your kurti is essential for both comfort and style. At Kurti Connection USA, we want to help you find the perfect fit every time you shop with us.
Understanding Our Sizing System
Our kurtis are sized using bust measurements in inches, with the equivalent US size listed for your convenience. For example:
- 40 / US Small - 40 inches bust measurement
- 42 / US Medium - 42 inches bust measurement
- 44 / US Large - 44 inches bust measurement
- And so on...
Two Easy Ways to Find Your Perfect Size
Choose the method that works best for you:
Option 1: Measure Your Bust and Add 3 Inches
This is the most accurate method for finding your kurti size:
- Use a soft measuring tape
- Wear a well-fitted bra or undergarment
- Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust
- Keep the tape parallel to the floor and snug but not tight
- Add 3 inches to your bust measurement
- The result is your kurti size
Example: If your bust measures 37 inches, add 3 inches = 40. Choose size 40 / US Small
Option 2: Use Your Regular US Size
If you know your US size for tops and shirts, simply choose the corresponding size:
- US Small → Choose 40 / US Small
- US Medium → Choose 42 / US Medium
- US Large → Choose 44 / US Large
- And so on...
This method is quick and convenient if you consistently wear the same US size in tops and shirts.
Why Add 3 Inches?
Kurtis are designed with ease and comfort in mind. Adding 3 inches to your actual bust measurement ensures:
- Comfortable fit with room to move
- Traditional silhouette that drapes beautifully
- Appropriate fit for the kurti style and design
Between Sizes?
If you're between sizes, here's what we recommend:
- For a relaxed fit: Size up to the next measurement for more comfort
- For a fitted look: Choose the smaller size if you prefer a closer fit
- For cotton kurtis: Consider sizing up, as cotton may shrink slightly after washing
Fabric Considerations
Different fabrics drape differently, which can affect your size choice:
- Cotton: May shrink slightly; consider sizing up one measurement
- Silk & Rayon: Typically true to size with beautiful drape
- Georgette & Chiffon: Flowy fabrics that work well with your measured size
Check the Size Chart
Each product page includes a detailed size chart with:
- Bust measurement: The primary sizing indicator
- Length: Total length from shoulder to hem
- Waist & Hip: Additional measurements for fitted styles
- Sleeve Length: For full-sleeve and 3/4 sleeve styles
