Sizing & Fit Guide for Modest Wear

The 44" Chest Standard

Every Arabian Nites garment is designed with a 44" chest measurement. This generous cut means:

• Plenty of room through the bust and shoulders
• No restrictive fitting or uncomfortable tightness
• Freedom of movement for prayer, daily activities, and active lifestyles
• Suitable for UK sizes 8-18 (and often beyond!)

Adjustable Waist - Your Perfect Fit

While our chest is generously sized, you control the waist fit:

• Built-in belts: Many of our kaftans and dresses come with matching belts to cinch at your natural waist or wear loose
• Cinchable waists: Adjustable ties or drawstrings let you create your preferred silhouette
• Wear it your way: Loose and flowing for ultimate comfort, or defined at the waist for a more structured look

Our Arabian Nites Signature Pieces including Persia Jacket Sets are designed with extra arm room so you can wear them over slip dresses, kaftans, or even jumpers in winter without feeling restricted. The 44" chest ensures the jacket sits beautifully without pulling.

Knit Dresses

Chest: 44" with natural stretch
Fit style: Gentle drape with stretch comfort
Waist: Often features tie or belt for adjustment
Length options: Choose your ideal length based on the chart above
Sleeve length: 21 inches (standard across all garments)

Our knit dresses combine the generous 44" chest with stretch fabric for ultimate comfort and modest coverage.

At Arabian Nites, we understand that true modest fashion isn't just about coverage - it's about comfort, dignity, and feeling beautiful in clothes that don't cling or restrict.

Our generous sizing philosophy:

• Modesty through design: Clothes that skim rather than hug your silhouette
• Comfort for active lives: Whether you're working, caring for family, or at prayer, our pieces move with you
• Inclusive approach: One size fits most body types, multiple lengths fit all heights
• Practical elegance: Beautiful pieces that work for real life, not just the catwalk

Create Definition

Love the generous fit but want more shape? Use the belt or tie at your natural waist, just under the bust for an empire line, or at the hips for a dropped waist look.

Layering Made Easy

The 44" chest and extra arm space mean you can layer confidently:

• Wear a long-sleeve top underneath kaftans in winter
• Layer jackets over thick jumpers
• Add cardigans over slip dresses without bulk

Seasonal Adjustments

Summer: Wear loose and flowing for maximum airflow and comfort
Winter: Layer underneath and use the belt to keep everything in place

Our 7 length options ensure you get the perfect fit for your height. Here's what to consider:

Measure your height accurately: Stand against a wall without shoes and measure from the floor to the top of your head.

Check the chart above: Find your height and select the corresponding garment length when ordering.

Between heights? If you're between two heights (e.g., 5'5"), you can choose either the 54" or 56" length depending on your preference for coverage.

While all our garments feature a 44" chest and 21 inch sleeve length, it's helpful to know your measurements for styling decisions:

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part - if you're under 44", you'll have lovely draping room
• Waist: Measure your natural waist to know where to position belts and ties
• Height: Measure from floor to top of head to select your perfect garment length

Our hijabs come in standard generous sizes (approximately 180cm x 70cm) to allow for various styling options. Our Premium Modal and Breeze Chiffon collections offer plenty of fabric for full coverage and creative styling.

Will the generous fit change after washing?
Our Modal and Jersey fabrics maintain their shape and generous sizing when washed according to care instructions. Silk pieces should be dry cleaned to preserve the beautiful drape and fit.
