Measurement Tips To Achive an Apporopriate
Islamic Fit
Have
someone help you take your measurements if you can, Insha’Allah....
While
you are fully dressed is a good time to take your measurements... this extra
inch will come in handy when you are looking for just that perfect hang from
your Abaya...
If
for some reason you find that you fall somewhere in between measurements, then
you may want to order the next size larger, Insha’Allah..
Always
measure using the beginning/start of the measuring tape....
As
Sister we always want to the smallest size possibe, but this is one time you
really do want your true body measurements... so don’t pull to hard on
the tape.....
Check
to see if the bust and hips measurments listed under each size match your
actual messaurments, Insha’Allah......
Okay
this is my last time saying this... Please remember it is better to ahve your
item too big then too small so Insha’Allah don’t forget that extra
inch that is needed to insure no tightness Insha’Allah.

MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS:
Note: To get the true
width for the garments you will divide the above bust and waist measurements by
1/2.
Bust
As stated earlier, if possible, get a friend to help you. With arms relaxed at
your sides, measure the fullest part of the bust, keeping the tape parallel to
the ground.
Waist
Measure around your waist where your pants usually fall. Keep one finger
between the tape and your body.
Hips
Stand with your heels together and measure around the fullest part of your
hips, keeping the tape parallel to the ground.
