Are Pakistani Clothes True to Size? UK Fit Guide (2025 Edition)
Shopping for Pakistani clothes in the UK can be tricky — especially when it comes to sizing. Are Pakistani outfits true to size? Do lawn suits come smaller than UK sizes? And what measurements should you check before buying?
This guide will help you understand how Pakistani sizing works, how it differs from UK sizing, and how to get the perfect fit every time.
Pakistani vs UK Sizing: The Key Difference
Pakistani clothing sizing is based on a different body standard — generally narrower shoulders, slimmer arms, and looser waists. UK customers often find:
- Small fits like UK 6–8
- Medium fits like UK 10–12
- Large fits like UK 14
- Extra Large fits like UK 16+
The fit also depends on whether the suit is:
- Ready to Wear (stitched) – fixed sizing
- Unstitched – can be tailored to your shape
How to Measure Yourself Correctly
To get the right size, always check:
- Bust (most important)
- Shoulders
- Arm length
- Length of kameez
Example: If your bust is 38 inches, you’re usually a Medium in Pakistani brands.
Do All Pakistani Brands Fit the Same?
No — each brand has its own size chart. For example:
- Limelight – more fitted
- Sana Safinaz – standard Pakistani size
- Khaadi – slightly generous fitting
Always check the size chart on the product page before buying.
Our Size Tip for UK Shoppers
If you're between sizes — always size up.
