Every piece from Rashmi Kumari is made to your measurements. It is cut, embellished and finished for your body after you place your order, not pulled from a shelf and hemmed. A standard size chart exists if you would rather work from S to XL, but it is the fallback here, not the default.
Once you choose a piece, our concierge asks for a short set of numbers: bust, waist, hips and the length of the garment, plus the blouse measurements that decide how it sits on your shoulders and arms, blouse length, sleeve length, armhole and shoulder width.
You can take these at home with a soft tape measure in about five minutes. Stand naturally in the innerwear you plan to wear underneath, keep the tape level and snug without pulling it tight, and have someone help you with the shoulder and back numbers if you can.
Not confident measuring yourself? Message our concierge on WhatsApp and we will walk you through it on a short video call, or you can send photos with the tape in place and we will read the numbers for you.
You can. It is not how we recommend ordering, since a blouse built to your own numbers fits differently to one pulled from a size run, but the standard chart below is here if you want it. Figures are in inches.
| Size | Bust | Waist | Hip | Shoulder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 32 | 26 | 35 | 14 |
| S | 34 | 28 | 37 | 14.5 |
| M | 36 | 30 | 39 | 15 |
| L | 38 | 32 | 41 | 15.5 |
| XL | 40 | 34 | 43 | 16 |
Need centimeters, or a size between two rows? Ask on WhatsApp and we will confirm the closest fit, or simply switch you to made to measure.
Your blouse is made completely to your measurements. So is the rest of the piece. Customization is not an upgrade you pay for. It is how every order is built.
There is no extra charge for made-to-measure. It is how every piece is made.
The moment a save-the-date lands in your inbox is the moment to order, not the week before you fly out. Every piece takes 4 to 6 weeks to make in our UAE atelier, then 2 to 5 business days by tracked express courier to your door.
Worked example: for a June 20 wedding, order by the third week of April. That covers the full 4 to 6 week make time, a few days in transit, and a real buffer for sizing conversation and customs clearance on the way in.
Shipping is a flat $45 to every region below. Prices are set and charged in USD, starting from $530, and our WhatsApp concierge confirms your full landed cost, including any duty, before your order is dispatched.
| Region | Shipping | Duties & taxes |
|---|---|---|
| United States | $45 flat | US import rules changed in 2025 and 2026: the low-value duty exemption is suspended, so duties now apply from the first dollar and typically land around 20 to 30 percent for embellished garments depending on classification. Confirmed with you on WhatsApp before dispatch. |
| United Kingdom | $45 flat | Import VAT of about 20 percent plus customs duty, charged on delivery. Confirmed with you on WhatsApp before dispatch. |
| European Union | $45 flat | Import VAT of 17 to 27 percent depending on your country, plus apparel duty of about 12 percent: the EU removed its low-value duty relief in 2026, so duty applies regardless of order value. Confirmed with you on WhatsApp before dispatch. |
| GCC (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman) | $45 flat | UAE orders ship domestically from our atelier with no import charges. Elsewhere in the GCC, a 5 percent customs duty plus local VAT (5 percent in the UAE and Qatar, 15 percent in Saudi Arabia) may apply. Confirmed with you on WhatsApp before dispatch. |
| Canada | $45 flat | GST or HST plus possible customs duty on import. Canada's duty-free threshold is low, so most orders attract some charge. Confirmed with you on WhatsApp before dispatch. |
| Australia | $45 flat | 10 percent GST on all imports, plus customs duty on orders above AUD 1,000. Confirmed with you on WhatsApp before dispatch. |
| New Zealand | $45 flat | 15 percent GST on imported orders, plus apparel duty of about 10 percent and a processing fee above NZD 1,000. Confirmed with you on WhatsApp before dispatch. |
