Our suits are sold as unstitched or semi-stitched fabric sets. Each suit lists fabric lengths for three pieces:

| Top | 2.40 – 2.75 mtr | 94 – 108 inches |
| Bottom | 2.00 – 2.50 mtr | 79 – 98 inches |

These lengths are sufficient for most standard sizes (S to XL). For plus sizes or longer lengths, check individual product listings.

Unstitched vs. Semi-Stitched — Which Should I Choose?
| Unstitched | Semi-Stitched | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Raw fabric pieces | Partially stitched (usually the kameez is cut/shaped) |
| Customisation | Full — tailor to any size | Partial — some shaping already done |
| Best for | Custom fits, unique styles | Faster stitching, standard sizes |
| Who stitches it | Your local tailor | Your local tailor (less work needed) |
| Sizing risk | None — fully customisable | Low — check product measurements before ordering |
Tip: If you have a trusted tailor, unstitched is always the safest choice — you get a perfect fit every time!
How to Measure Yourself
