Measurements for tailoring

I have a friend who is going to Pakistan and has offered to get few clothes tailored for me. So I have a few questions:

I am quiet a bit overweight, so would the latest Kali style look ok on me? I couldn’t find pictures on internet for plus sizes to see what it really would look like. Any suggestion?

What measurements would I need to give her for a shalwar kameez and/if kali style outfit. What other information should I include to make this as painless for my friend and still get what I want.

I will truly appreciate the help.

Thanks.

Re: Measurements for tailoring

So nobody here can help me? My friend is leaving in a week and I don't know what measurements to give her. Please help!

Re: Measurements for tailoring

with an anarkali you shouldnt be getting a shalwar, the tailor will make a churidar and that can be done based on your shirt measurments. That's what I ve been told. I never give measurments for churidars cause with anarkali outfits they usually show only 2 inches. I think it will look good. Go for it. But just incase .. dont get too many made.

ok thanks a bunch!
