Aari Work Kaftans – Elegance Handcrafted in Kashmir #2

The Kashmiri Pheran is a traditional garment designed for warmth and comfort. Unlike fitted kurtas, Pherans are cut loosely to allow for layering underneath (thermals, sweaters, etc.).

Key Fit Note: Pherans typically have a margin of 4–6 inches over your actual body chest measurement to ensure the traditional drape and comfort.

> Note: “Chest (Garment)” refers to the measurement of the Pheran itself, not your body. For the best fit, choose a garment size that is 4-6 inches larger than your body bust measurement.

How to Measure

To ensure you order the perfect size from Kashmir Online Shopping, please follow these measurement steps:

1. Chest (Bust)

• Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
• Keep the tape measure straight and snug, but not tight.
• Example: If your body bust measures 36 inches, you should order a Small (40″ Garment Chest) to allow for the standard 4-inch looseness.

2. Shoulder

• Measure from the tip of one shoulder bone across your back to the tip of the other shoulder bone.
• Pheran shoulders are often “drop-shoulder” style, so they may sit slightly wider than a fitted shirt.

3. Length

• Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the neck) down to the hem.
• Standard Pherans fall below the knee to mid-calf.

4. Sleeve

• Measure from the shoulder joint down to the wrist.
• Traditional Pherans often have slightly wider sleeves to accommodate layers.
