If you're between sizes or like a looser fit, choose the next size up.

These are measurements of the stitched outfit, measured all the way round. They already include room to move. The height next to each age is the typical height of an Indian child at that age, a guide only; when in doubt, go by the chest.

How to measure

Two minutes with a soft tape

Chest

Wrap the tape around the fullest part of the chest, just under the arms. Keep one finger between the tape and the body.

Waist

Measure around the natural waist, just above the belly button. For babies, measure over the nappy.

Length

Stand your child straight. Measure from the top of the shoulder down to where you want the hem to fall.

Your child's chest

What you measure on the body.

The outfit's chest

What our charts list. Pick the size whose chest is about 2 inches (5 cm) bigger than your child's.

No tape at home? Lay a kurta or frock that fits well flat, measure straight across the chest from armpit to armpit, and double it. Compare that number with our charts.

Sizing questions

What parents ask us most

Are these body measurements or outfit measurements?

They are measurements of the finished outfit, measured all the way round. They already include room to move. Measure your child's chest, then pick the size whose chest is about 2 inches (5 cm) bigger.

My child is between two sizes. Which should I pick?

Pick the bigger size. Children grow fast, and our pattu pavadais and lehengas have extra margin stitched in, so a tailor can take them in now and let them out later.

What does size 22 mean?

Our size numbers go up by two each year. Size 16 is for 1 year, 18 for 2 years, 20 for 3 years, 22 for 4 years, and so on up to size 42 for 14 years.

Which size is right for a newborn or a first birthday?

Sizes 10, 12 and 14 are for newborns up to 6 months, and size 16 is for 1 year. For a naming ceremony or first birthday, pattu pavadai sizes 12 and 14 are cut loose, so a baby can wear them from birth until about a year.

I'm buying a gift and can't measure. What should I do?

Go by age. If you know the child is tall or well built for their age, choose one size up. You can exchange the size once for free within 7 days of delivery.

Can I exchange for a different size?

Yes. We offer one free exchange for a different size of the same product, within 7 days of delivery, if that size is in stock. The outfit must be unused and unwashed, with tags on. Message us on WhatsApp with your order ID to start.

Do the size charts work for orders outside India?

Yes. All our charts are in inches and centimetres. Use the unit switch above any chart.

How do women's sizes work?

Women's sizes run from XS (34-inch bust) to 4XL (48-inch bust). If you are between sizes or like a looser fit, choose the next size up.

Still unsure?

Tell us the age and the outfit. We'll confirm the size.
