SIZE GUIDE
Size guide - Caftans & Wedding dresses
At our workshop in Marrakech, each creation is handcrafted with passion.
For your Kaftan or wedding dress to fit perfectly, it's essential to choose the right size.
This guide explains how to take your measurements and choose the ideal fit.
How to take your measurements
For a perfect fit, use a flexible tape measure and follow these steps:
1. Chest circumference
Measure the widest part of your chest, without tightening too much.
2. Waist circumference
Measure the smallest part of your waist, just above the navel.
3. Hip circumference
Measure the widest part of your hips, including the buttocks.
4. Total length
Measure from shoulder to floor, using the shoes you'll be wearing on the big day.
5. Sleeve length
Measure from shoulder to wrist, arm slightly bent.
Tip: take your measurements wearing the lingerie and shoes intended for the event.

Tailor-made for exceptional events
For a wedding dress or a ceremonial Kaftan , we recommend made-to-measure:
-
Perfectly tailored to your measurements
-
Comfort and elegance guaranteed
-
A unique piece that reflects your personality
Our practical advice
-
Take your measurements on thin garments.
-
Stay upright but natural, without pulling in your stomach.
-
If you're between two sizes, opt for the larger one (easier to adjust).
-
For a long dress, always measure with your planned shoes.
