Tips about Navigating size and fit when buying Pakistani clothes online in USA

Nothing excites Pakistani women more than a good shopping spree. Shopping for Pakistani clothes online is an entertainment in itself. But it is important to shop according to your size and fit. Shopping for your size and fit requires you to follow through a bunch of tips and tricks. Buying Pakistani clothes that fit and look good on your body is a rather complicated task. Inaccurate measurements can result in misfit clothing that does not compliment you at all.


Here are a few tips for you to ensure that whatever you are wearing suits you perfectly.


Accurate Measurements

It is important to have your measurements taken accurately and by an expert. It is even better if you have them taken by a tailor or a close friend. You need to have a measuring tape, pencil and a notepad to be able to record your measurement. In Women, there are certain factors you should be aware of before measuring. It is advised to use a flexible measuring tape as it helps record accurate measurements.

Ensuring that the fabric is wrinkle free helps record precise measurements. Wrinkles and creases can result in inaccurate measurements, so it is important to lay your fabric on a flat surface. Measurement varies from men to women and the key measurements for women include kameez (top), bust, waist, hips, sleeves length, and shoulders. Pakistani clothes include very delicate designs and hemlines, so it is important to be precise with your measurements.

Take guidance from your size chart

Rely on your size chart rather than your typical measurements. Every clothing store typically offers their own size chart so it is important to align with it. Websites these days offer recommended sizes based on your height and body type. After taking measures for yourself with a measuring tape, consult the chart to match with it.

Using the size chart can be particularly helpful if you are already aware of your measurements and are shopping for Pakistani clothes online. Satisfactory online shopping relies heavily on accurate measurements and fitting, so you must pay close attention to it.

Pay close attention to the fabrics

Go through the product description meticulously before you choose to buy it. The kind of fabric and design depicts how you are going to measure it. Some fabrics require a loose fit and their measurements are a tad bit different as compared to some. Fabrics like silk offer elasticity which should be considered while measuring for outfits. Fabrics like satin silk should always be given a little room for flowing.

Cotton on the other hand does not offer as much stretch and should be measured precisely. Cotton clothes are comparatively very structured and require accurate measurements.

Customer Reviews

After you have done your homework for your size and also consulted the size chart and the kind of fabric you are buying, it is important to go through some customer reviews. Customer reviews can offer insights into the flexibility of sizing and how accurate they are once they are delivered. This feedback can help adjust your sizing accordingly. 

This also includes understanding the return and exchange policies and how the stores offer support when you are delivered the wrong size. Stores that offer custom stitching should be contacted very clearly about your size and measurements. You should also consult customer support while choosing your size and while consulting the size chart. 

Understand the style and fitting of the clothing 

Many clothing items like salwar and kurtas offer loose fitting so you must keep that in mind while you are choosing your size. Loose fitting clothing should be given space and margin while you are providing your size. Waist, hips, shirt, trouser and flare measurement should be adjusted as per the style of the clothing. 

It is important that your posture is relaxed while you are taking measurements and you are considering your body’s curves and contours while doing so. Enjoy custom stitching on designer collection at Sahaili and get the most out of our exclusive and intricate designs.
