How to Choose the Right Size in a Kurta Pyjama Set Online

🧵 Intro

Buying ethnic wear online is incredibly convenient — but finding the perfect fit? That’s where many customers hesitate.

At The Maharaja Store, we understand how important comfort, style, and fit are — especially when shopping for kurta pyjama sets, shirts, or father-son matching outfits. That’s why we’ve created easy-to-follow size charts and this step-by-step guide to help you shop confidently online.

📏 Indian vs. Standard Sizing – What’s the Difference?

Many international size charts don’t match Indian body types or styling preferences. At Maharaja, our size system is based on Indian body shapes and traditional fits. For example, an XL in a Maharaja Kurta may feel more breathable than a Western-style shirt, as ethnic wear is typically worn a little looser.

We use:

• Numeric sizing (36–48) alongside standard sizes (S to 4XL) for men
• Age-based sizing for boys

Whether you’re buying a classic kurta or a slim-fit shirt, knowing your body measurements is the first step.

📐 How to Measure Yourself at Home

All measurements on our size charts are garment measurements, not body measurements. Here's how to measure accurately:

• Chest: Wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your chest. Keep it slightly loose.
• Shoulder: Measure the straight line between the tips of your shoulders.
• Sleeve Length: Measure from your shoulder tip to your wrist.
• Kurta Length: Measure from shoulder to knee or desired length.
• Pyjama Length: Measure from waist to ankle.

💡 If your measurement falls between two sizes, go for the next larger size.

❌ Common Sizing Mistakes to Avoid

1. Choosing too tight a fit — kurtas should allow ease of movement
2. Ignoring shoulder width — which affects the drape and fall
3. Confusing shirt and kurta sizing — they fit very differently
4. Not accounting for fabric — cotton shrinks slightly; silk does not stretch
5. Guessing — always consult the chart, not your usual jeans or T-shirt size

👨👦 Fit Tips for Matching Sets

• Always check both adult and child size charts
• Size up for kids when in doubt
• Comfort is key — especially for weddings, festivals, or long events
• Matching sets don’t need to be tight to look well coordinated
