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:
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.
