Pre-Loved salwar kameez

Judge the kameez the way you would a kurta: shoulder first, because moving that seam is real tailoring, then bust with 4 to 6 cm of ease, then length against your height. The salwar is the forgiving half. A drawstring waist covers a spread of 10 cm or more, and even an elasticated one has give, so a waist mismatch on paper often vanishes on the body. What actually decides the bottoms is the mohri, the opening at the ankle: a Patiala gathers into a fitted cuff, a churidar must hug the calf and bunch at the ankle on purpose, and palazzos only need length. Check which cut the photos show and whether that mohri suits you, because narrowing an ankle is easy and widening one is not. If you are long-bodied, ask about the rise of the salwar as well, since it sets where the whole garment sits. Then confirm all three pieces are present and photographed, and give the dupatta real attention: chiffon and net snag invisibly until held up to light, and a phulkari or heavy-bordered dupatta should be checked along its fold lines, where embroidery cracks first. On the kameez, look at the side slits, the neckline work and the underarm lining. Boxed suits assume your top and bottom are the same size; bodies rarely agree, which is why a custom-stitched suit whose numbers match yours beats a ready-made set before price even enters it. Every listing on Silai stores the measurements the suit was made for. Scan yourself, about 2 minutes with your phone camera, and the rack filters to suits cut for a body like yours, each carrying a fit score and a full comparison chart. Silai is free and takes no commission, and you talk to the seller directly.
