 Measurement Guide

 

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF CORRECTLY?

 

 

 

 

 

1

BRUST/CHEST:

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level under your arms and across your shoulder blades.

2

WAIST:

Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist, usually just above the navel.

4

HIP:

Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.

5

SHOULDER:

Measure from the tip of one shoulder seam to the other, across the back.

6

SLEEVE:

With the arm slightly bent, measure from the shoulder tip down to the desired length on the wrist.

7

SHOULDER TO WAIST / FRONT LENGTH:

  Measure from the top of the shoulder (at the base of the neck) straight down to the natural waistline.

8

PRO TIP:

Always refer to the specific brand's size chart when available, as sizing can vary significantly between manufacturers.


 

Key Measurements for Habesha Kemis (Women's Dress)

  1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape horizontal.

  2. Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline, usually above the belly button.

  3. Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, typically 7-9 inches below your natural waist.

  4. Shoulder to Waist: Measure from the top of your shoulder (where a normal shoulder seam would sit) straight down to your natural waistline.

  5. Sleeve Length (Traditional): Measure from the top of your shoulder, down your arm, to your wrist. Note: Habesha Kemis often have sleeves that gather at the cuff or are slightly longer, so confirm the desired length.

  6. Biceps: Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm.

  7. Wrist: Measure around your wrist bone.

  8. Dress Length (Shoulder to Hem): Measure from the top of your shoulder, over the fullest part of your bust, and straight down to where you want the hem of the dress to fall (e.g., floor-length, ankle-length). Crucial for Kemis.

  9. Neckline Drop (Optional for Custom): For specific necklines (e.g., deeper V or square), measure from the top of your shoulder (at the neck base) down to the desired lowest point of the neckline.




General Measurement Tips (for all garments):

  • Wear Light Clothing: For accurate measurements, wear lightweight, non-bulky clothing or undergarments.

  • Stand Straight: Stand naturally and relaxed, without sucking in your stomach.

  • Ask for Help: For best accuracy, ask a friend or tailor to help you take measurements, especially for back and length measurements.

  • Double-Check: Always measure twice to ensure accuracy.

  • Provide Any Unique Needs: If you have specific preferences (e.g., a looser fit, longer hem), please note them with your order.
