How to take your measurements at home and order your custom caftan?

Tailoring a kaftan requires precise measurements to get a garment that fits your figure perfectly. In this guide, we will explain step by step how to take your measurements at home. Follow these simple instructions and get a kaftan that will highlight your elegance and style.
  1. Get ready: Before you begin, make sure you have a soft measuring tape and a mirror handy. Wear tight-fitting clothing or underwear to get accurate measurements.
  2. Measure shoulder length: Place the measuring tape at the back of your neck, where your shoulder bones are. Measure the distance between these two points, making sure the tape is snug but not too tight.
  3. Measure chest circumference: Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, making sure it is snug but not too tight. Make sure the tape is parallel to the floor.
  4. Measure waistline: Locate your natural waistline, which is usually above your belly button and slightly below your rib cage. Wrap the measuring tape around this area, maintaining slight tension.
  5. Measure hip circumference: Place the measuring tape around the fullest part of your hips, making sure the tape is parallel to the floor.
  6. Measure sleeve length (if applicable): Bend your arm slightly and measure from your shoulder to your wrist to determine your desired sleeve length.
  7. Measure the length of the kaftan: To determine the desired length of your kaftan, stand and measure from the shoulder to where you want the kaftan to end, for example, the ankle or the floor.
  8. Take other measurements (optional): Depending on the style of the kaftan, you can also measure other parts of the body, such as the width of the back or the circumference of the arm.
  9. Choose your caftan model: Browse our selection of models of caftans, Kimono or jacket, and choose the one that best suits your tastes and the occasion for which you wish to wear it. Take note of the number or name of the chosen model to be able to communicate it with your measurements.
