Bespoke Tailoring & Exact Measurement Guide
At Nida Khan Atelier, every garment is individually made on order. We provide complimentary custom length tailoring on all abayas and kaftans to guarantee an immaculate floor-skimming drape for your height.
How to Measure Custom Abaya Length
1. Stand Upright: Stand barefoot or in the heels you intend to wear most frequently with the abaya.
2. Measure from High Shoulder / Collarbone: Place the measuring tape at the top edge of your shoulder where the neck seam begins.
3. Down to Heel / Desired Hem: Let the tape fall straight down along your body to your ankle or top of your foot (e.g. 54", 56", 58").
4. Enter on Product Page: Simply enter your desired length (in inches or cm) in the "Custom Length" box before adding the garment to your bag.
