A tailor needs more than a size. See the measurements for a kurta, men's kurta pajama measurements, or print the kurta pajama measurement form.
It is the chest in inches. A men's size 40 kurta is cut for a 40 inch (102 cm) chest, which is a men's L. On a women's kurta the number is the bust in inches, so a 40 is an XL at most brands.
A women's M is a 36, and a 38 at brands that label one size up. A men's M is a 38. Both are cut for a 91 to 97 cm (36 to 38 inch) bust or chest.
By bust or chest. A kurta hangs from the shoulders and chest. A straight kurta also has to clear the hips, so check the hip number when your hips are a size or more above your bust.
Take the larger one. A kurta is meant to skim the body, and a tailor can take a side seam in, but nobody can add width that is not there.
