How to Measure Yourself

Grab a soft measuring tape and a friend if you can — six numbers are all we need. Measure over a well-fitted shirt, not bulky clothing.

Wrap the tape around the base of your neck, where a shirt collar would sit. Keep one finger between the tape and your neck for comfort.

Measure straight across your back from the edge of one shoulder bone to the other.

Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Keep the tape level and snug, not tight.

Measure around your natural waistline — roughly level with your belly button — without pulling the tape tight.

With your arm slightly bent, measure from the edge of your shoulder, over the elbow, to your wrist bone.

Measure from the base of your neck (back) straight down to where you'd like the sherwani to end — typically mid-calf.
