Send your measurements.
From anywhere in the world.
Three paths the diaspora customer uses to get a measurement chart to the Melbourne atelier — by fitting, by WhatsApp video, by tailor's chart.

For atelier pieces, measurements matter more than size. A saree blouse, lehenga waist, kurta shoulder, and sleeve opening each carry a different tolerance. Two women can both wear a medium and need entirely different decisions at the armhole.
If you are in Melbourne, the easiest path is a fitting. Bring a blouse or kurta that already fits well and one that does not. The mistakes are useful. They tell us how you like ease, where you need movement, and what you never want repeated.
If you are elsewhere, WhatsApp video works. You need a soft measuring tape, a mirror, and someone patient at your end if possible. We talk through each point and write the chart while we are on the call, so the numbers are not floating without context.
A tailor's chart is also welcome. Send it as a photograph, scan, or PDF, and include your height, heel height, and the garment type. Once we have the chart, it stays with your atelier profile for future commissions unless your body or preference changes.
