Sizing Guide
Every DeranáVitenge garment is crafted to honour the body. Use this guide to take your measurements accurately and find the size that feels made for you — because it is.
Step One
Use a soft measuring tape. Stand straight in lightweight clothing or underwear. Have someone help you for the most accurate results.
Bust / Chest
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Do not pull tight — leave a finger's width of ease.
Waist
Measure around your natural waist — the narrowest part of your torso, usually about 2 cm above your navel. Breathe out naturally before measuring.
Hips
Stand with feet together. Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, approximately 20 cm below your natural waist.
Length
For dresses and Dera: measure from the highest point of your shoulder straight down to where you'd like the hem to fall.
Size Charts
All measurements are in centimetres (cm). If you fall between sizes, we recommend sizing up — our artisans can always take in a garment.

Reference Guide
Bust / Chest
Tape goes around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms. Keep it level and parallel to the floor. Do not compress the chest.
Natural Waist
Bend to one side — the crease that forms is your natural waist. Measure around this point. Exhale gently; do not hold your breath in.
High Hip
About 8 cm below your natural waist. Important for fitted skirt and trouser waistbands.
Full Hip
Around the widest part of your hips and seat — usually 18–20 cm below natural waist. Stand with feet together for accuracy.
Shoulder to Hem
From the tip of your shoulder, over the bust and down to your desired hemline. Stand in flat shoes for this measurement.
