Size guide,
made simple.
Use this reference before selecting your blouse, anarkali, drape set or festive silhouette. Indian ethnic wear sizing can vary by cut and fabric, so final fit and alteration advice should be confirmed with the Fable team.
How to use: measure over fitted clothing, keep the tape parallel to the floor and do not pull it too tight. For in-between measurements, choose the larger size and request final alteration guidance.
