Made To Measure Service
Our made-to-measure service allows you to order selected Indian outfits prepared using your individual body measurements. It is ideal for customers who would like a more personalised fit or cannot find a suitable standard ready-made size.
Choose your preferred design, enter all the required measurements in inches and complete your payment securely online. Your outfit will then be individually cut, stitched and finished using the measurements submitted with your order.
What Does Made to Measure Mean?
A made-to-measure outfit is produced using the body measurements supplied by the customer. The shape and fit are adjusted using those measurements, while the garment’s original design, fabric, colour, embroidery and overall appearance remain as shown on the product page.
Made to measure is different from a fully bespoke design service. Unless a product page specifically states otherwise, customers cannot change the fabric, colour, embroidery, neckline or original garment design.

Your Made-to-Measure Order Journey
Stage 1 — Order and Measurement Review
We prepare your order and review the measurements you have submitted. If anything appears unclear or inconsistent, we may contact you for clarification before production continues.
Stage 2 — Cutting and Stitching
Your chosen outfit is individually cut and stitched using the measurements provided with your order. The original design, fabric, embroidery and included pieces will remain as described on the product page.
Stage 3 — Finishing and Quality Checks
Once tailoring is complete, your outfit goes through finishing and quality checks before being approved for packaging.
Approximately 3–4 Weeks — Dispatch
Please allow approximately 3–4 weeks for production before dispatch. When your outfit is ready, it will be carefully packaged and you will receive dispatch information and tracking details.
Please note: This production time is an estimate and not a guaranteed delivery date. Measurement queries, intricate designs and exceptionally busy periods may require additional time. Please order well before your wedding, Eid celebration or other event.

How to Take Your Measurements
- Enter every measurement in inches only.

- Stand naturally without holding your breath or pulling your stomach in.
- Keep the measuring tape level and comfortably fitted.
- Ask another person to take your measurements whenever possible.
- Do not measure over a bulky coat, jacket or jumper.
- Do not add extra fitting room unless we specifically ask you to do so.
Bust, chest, waist, hip, neck and armhole measurements should be supplied as complete body-circumference measurements. Do not submit measurements taken flat across an existing garment unless we specifically request them.
Your Responsibility When Providing Measurements
Please check every measurement carefully before placing your order. Your outfit will be produced using the information you submit, so incorrect measurements may affect the finished fit.
If you are uncertain about any measurement, call us on 01274 487918 before ordering. We would rather help you check a measurement before production begins.
Price and Payment
The price displayed on the product page is the price you pay for the selected made-to-measure outfit unless an additional service has been agreed separately. Full payment is required through our secure online checkout when the order is placed.
Any valid promotional discount will be shown during checkout and will remain subject to its individual terms and exclusions.
Production Time and Event Dates
Please allow approximately 3–4 weeks for production before dispatch. Courier delivery begins only after your outfit has completed production and has been dispatched.
If you require your outfit for a wedding, Nikkah, Mehndi, Eid celebration or another dated event, please order as early as possible. Providing an event date does not guarantee delivery by that date unless this has been expressly confirmed by us in writing.
Changing Measurements After Ordering
Contact us immediately if you discover an error after placing your order. We will try to help, but changes cannot be guaranteed once your measurements have been passed to the tailoring team or production has started.
Changing measurements or requesting design alterations may delay your order and could involve an additional charge. We will explain and agree any additional cost before carrying out work that was not included in the original order.
Delivery
When your outfit is complete, it will be carefully packaged and dispatched to the delivery address supplied during checkout. UK orders are normally sent using Royal Mail Tracked 24, which usually takes 1–2 working days after dispatch.
Production and delivery are separate stages. The approximately 3–4-week production estimate does not include courier delivery time or unexpected courier delays.
Returns and Cancellations
Made-to-measure garments are created specifically using the measurements supplied by the customer. For this reason, they cannot normally be returned or refunded simply because the customer has changed their mind or supplied incorrect measurements.
Please contact us immediately if you wish to cancel your order. Once production has begun, cancellation or further changes may no longer be possible.
This does not affect your statutory rights. Please contact us if an item is faulty, misdescribed or has not been produced according to the measurements agreed with us. Read our Refund Policy for further information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I enter my measurements online?
Yes. Every made-to-measure product contains the required measurement fields. Complete all required fields in inches before adding the product to your bag.
Do I need to pay when placing the order?
Yes. The full price displayed on the product page is paid securely through our online checkout when the order is placed.
How long does a made-to-measure order take?
Please allow approximately 3–4 weeks for production before dispatch. Courier delivery takes place after production has been completed.
Can I choose a different colour or fabric?
Not unless the product page specifically offers that option. Our made-to-measure service normally adjusts the pictured outfit to your measurements without changing its original design, colour, fabric or embroidery.

Contact us immediately. We may be able to update your measurements if production has not started, but changes cannot be guaranteed after your order has been passed to the tailoring team.
What if I do not know how to measure myself?
Ask another person to help and follow the measurement instructions carefully. You can also call us on 01274 487918 before ordering.
Should I add extra room to my measurements?
No. Enter your actual body measurements unless we specifically instruct you otherwise. The tailoring team will apply the appropriate fitting allowance.
Can I return a made-to-measure outfit?
Made-to-measure outfits cannot normally be returned because of a change of mind or incorrect customer-supplied measurements. Your statutory rights still apply if the garment is faulty, misdescribed or has not been made according to the measurements agreed with us.
Is delivery included within the 3–4-week estimate?
No. The estimate covers production before dispatch. Courier delivery begins after your outfit has been completed and dispatched.
