Why Accurate Measurements Matter

The foundation of a perfectly stitched suit lies in accurate measurements. At Laraib Creative, we rely on precise dimensions to ensure your custom outfit fits you like a glove.

What You'll Need

  • A standard measuring tape (inches)
  • A mirror (full length is best)
  • A friend to help (for best results)
  • Wear fitted clothes while measuring

Key Measurements

We use a comprehensive measurement profile including:

  • Shirt Length: From shoulder to desired hemline.
  • Chest: Around the fullest part of your bust.
  • Waist: Around the narrowest part of your waist.
  • Hips: Around the widest part of your hips.
  • Shoulders: Bone to bone across the back.
  • Sleeves: Shoulder seam to wrist/desired length.
  • Trouser Length: Waist to ankle/desired length.

For a detailed interactive guide and to save your profile, please visit our Size Guide or create a Measurement Profile in your account.
