Blouse Size Guide – 4 Easy Steps to Find Your Perfect Fit | India Blouse
1 - Full Bust — What & Why
What to do: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest (usually over the nipples). The tape should be level around your back and across your front.
How to do it (step-by-step):
Wear a normal bra you use every day. Do not wear a padded or push-up bra.
Stand straight with your arms relaxed at the sides.
Place the tape under your arms and over the fullest part of your bust.
Make sure the tape is flat and level at the back.
Keep the tape snug but not tight — you should be able to breathe normally.
Read the number in inches (or cm). This is your Full Bust measurement.
Why it matters: The bust measurement decides the main blouse size and ensures the blouse does not gap across the chest.
2 - Waist — What & Why
What to do: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist — usually above the belly button.
How to do it (step-by-step):
Find your natural waist: bend to one side — the crease is your natural waistline.
Stand straight and wrap the tape around this narrow point.
Keep the tape level and relaxed (not sucking in the stomach).
Read the number. This is your Waist measurement.
Why it matters: Waist helps for fitted blouse styles and for blouses that sit below the bust.
3 - Shoulder — What & Why
What to do: Measure from the outer tip of one shoulder to the outer tip of the other straight across the back.
How to do it (step-by-step):
Stand straight and relax your shoulders.
Ask someone to help — measuring shoulders alone is harder.
Place the tape at the tip of one shoulder bone, pull it straight across the back to the other shoulder tip.
Read the number. This is your Shoulder measurement.
Why it matters: Correct shoulder width keeps the blouse sitting in the right place and avoids slipping or tightness.
4 - Blouse Length — What & Why
What to do: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the base of the neck) straight down to where you want the blouse to end.
How to do it (step-by-step):
Decide blouse finish: short (waist), mid (above navel), or long (below navel).
Place the tape at the top of the shoulder near the neck.
Pull the tape straight down to the chosen end point.
Read the number. This is your Length.
Why it matters: Length affects how the blouse looks with different saree drapes and waist positions.
------ Quick Understanding – What Size Should I Pick? ------

------ Extra Seam Margin Provided ------
Every India Blouse comes with extra seam margin, allowing small alterations for a better personal fit. This makes it easy to loosen the blouse by 1–2 inches if needed, ensuring maximum comfort.
------ Quick troubleshooting ------
Between sizes? Choose the larger size.
If your bust and waist fall into different sizes: pick the size matching your bust and alter the waist if needed.
If fabric has stretch: you can size down 1 size depending on stretch percentage.
Prefer looser fit for comfort: add 1 inch to measurements.
------ Fit Tips by Body Type ------
Apple shape: Focus on bust fit; choose higher neckline if you want more coverage.
Pear shape: Shoulder fit and bust measurement are key; consider princess seams.
Athletic: Look for styles with shaping or darts to add curves.
Plus size: Prefer stretch fabrics or extra room in bust; always check shoulder measurement.
------ Common mistakes ------
Measuring over thick clothing — always measure over innerwear.
Holding the tape too tight — measure relaxed.
Not checking level at the back — tape must be parallel to the floor.
Measuring alone for shoulders — get help.
------ Women often ask: ------
“My bust is 36 inches, which size?” → Size 38
“Bust 34 but broad shoulders?” → Size 36
