Custom Plus Size Indian Wear: Made-to-Measure for Every Body

Standard sizing in Indian wear rarely goes beyond XL—and even when it does, the fit is often just a scaled-up version of smaller sizes rather than properly proportioned for larger bodies. Custom made-to-measure solves this completely. Your outfit is created for your body, whatever its size.

Why Custom Matters for Plus Sizes

No size limits: We make to your measurements, not arbitrary size charts. Whether you're size 16, 26, or beyond, your piece is made for you.

Proper proportions: Plus size bodies aren't just "bigger"—they have different proportions. Custom means armholes, bodice length, and silhouette are designed for your specific frame.

Flattering fit: Strategic dart placement, appropriate ease, and silhouettes that work with your body rather than against it.

Comfort: Room to move, breathe, sit, and enjoy your event without fighting your clothes.

What We Customize

Measurements We Need

Beyond standard measurements, we account for:

• Full bust and high bust difference
• Waist at multiple points (natural, low, hip)
• Hip and thigh measurements for lehengas
• Arm circumference at multiple points
• Shoulder slope and back width
• Torso length (front and back may differ)

Fit Considerations

• Appropriate ease for comfort
• Dart placement for bust support
• Armhole depth and shape
• Side seam placement
• Hem length accounting for body shape

Silhouette Choices

Every silhouette can be made in every size, but some are particularly flattering:

Anarkalis: Fitted bodice with flowing skirt—universally flattering

A-line kurtas: Gentle flare from bust, skims over middle

Lehengas: Fitted choli with separate skirt—adjustable and comfortable

Sarees: The most body-flexible garment—drapes around any figure

Silhouettes That Work Beautifully

The Anarkali

Structured bodice that supports and shapes, with a flowing skirt that moves gracefully. The SUROOR and RAFIA anarkalis are popular choices—both can be made to any size.

The A-Line Kurta

Gentle flare from the bust creates an elegant line without clinging. Comfortable and universally flattering.

The Lehenga

Separate pieces (choli + skirt) allow for different sizing top and bottom. Skirts can be made with comfortable waistbands positioned where they're most flattering.

The Saree

The ultimate inclusive garment—six yards of fabric that drapes around any body. The key is a well-fitted custom blouse.

Addressing Common Concerns

"Heavy embroidery will make me look bigger"
Not necessarily. Strategic embroidery placement can create visual interest without adding bulk. All-over patterns can actually be more flattering than minimal embroidery that draws the eye to specific areas.

"I should only wear dark colours"
Wear whatever colours make you happy. A well-fitted, beautiful garment in any colour will look better than a poorly fitted one in "slimming" black.

"Indian wear is uncomfortable for larger bodies"
Off-the-rack Indian wear often is. Custom Indian wear, made with appropriate ease and proportions, is comfortable for all-day wear.

"I can't wear sleeveless"
You can wear whatever you want. But if you prefer sleeves, we make them in any length, with proper armhole depth and arm circumference for comfort.

Fabric Considerations

Best choices:

• Silk (structured, drapes well)
• Chanderi (lightweight, elegant)
• Georgette and chiffon (fluid, flattering)
• Quality cotton (breathable, comfortable)

Consider carefully:

• Very stiff fabrics that don't drape well
• Extremely clingy fabrics without structure
• Very heavy embroidery throughout (can add weight)

The Measurement Process

We need accurate measurements for the best fit. Options:

Self-measurement: We send a detailed guide with photos and tips specific to measuring larger bodies

Local tailor: Have a professional take measurements using our specific guide

In-person: Visit our Jaipur atelier for professional measurement

We ask for measurements at multiple points (not just bust-waist-hip) to ensure proper fit.

Pricing Transparency

We do not charge extra for larger sizes. The listed price is the price for every size. This is how it should be.

The only additional cost might be if you request significantly more fabric (longer length, added panels) than standard—and we'll discuss this upfront before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the largest size you make?
We don't have an upper limit. We make to measurements, not sizes. Whatever your measurements, we can create for you.

Will the design look the same in a larger size?
Yes, with proportional adjustments. Embroidery scale, pattern placement, and details are adjusted so the design looks intentional at every size.

What if I'm not sure something will look good on me?
Share your concerns. We can discuss silhouettes, show you photos of similar pieces on different bodies, and guide you to choices that will flatter your figure.

Can I order something and request modest coverage?
Absolutely. We regularly modify necklines, add sleeves, or adjust coverage based on preference.
