Size and Length Guide
Two decisions matter at Nuraya, and they are not the same decision. Size is about your body. Length is about your height. Most disappointment with a long garment comes from getting the second one wrong, so we list both on every piece.
Start with length
Every abaya, kaftan and maxi dress shows its total length shoulder to hem, and the height of the model wearing it. Match your own height to the table below.
| Your height | Length | Approximate garment length |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 5 ft 3 in / 160 cm | Petite | 52 in / 132 cm |
| 5 ft 3 in to 5 ft 8 in / 160–173 cm | Regular | 56 in / 142 cm |
| 5 ft 8 in and above / 173 cm + | Tall | 60 in / 152 cm |
Between two lengths? The longer one sits closer to the floor. If you usually wear a heel, size up in length rather than in body size.
Then choose your size
| Size | UK | Bust | Waist | Hip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 6 | 32 in / 81 cm | 25 in / 64 cm | 35 in / 89 cm |
| S | 8–10 | 34 in / 86 cm | 27 in / 69 cm | 37 in / 94 cm |
| M | 12 | 36 in / 91 cm | 29 in / 74 cm | 39 in / 99 cm |
| L | 14 | 39 in / 99 cm | 32 in / 81 cm | 42 in / 107 cm |
| XL | 16 | 42 in / 107 cm | 35 in / 89 cm | 45 in / 114 cm |
How to measure
Use a soft tape, measure over light clothing, and keep the tape level rather than pulled tight.
- Bust — around the fullest part, tape level across your back.
- Waist — the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel.
- Hip — around the fullest part, roughly 8 in / 20 cm below the waist.
- Height — standing straight without shoes, heels against the wall.
Scarves and hijabs
Squares and hijabs are listed by dimension, not size. The 90 × 90 cm Signature Square has enough fabric to wrap and cover fully. The 70 × 70 cm Mini Square is an accent piece for the neck, hair or a bag handle. Hijab lengths and widths are given on each product page.
