Find Your Fit
These are garment measurements, not body measurements. Between two sizes? Size up — our silhouettes are meant to drape, not cling.
| Size | Bust (in) | Waist (in) | Length (in) | Shoulder (in) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 34 | 28 | 44 | 13.5 |
| S | 36 | 30 | 44.5 | 14 |
| M | 38 | 32 | 45 | 14.5 |
| L | 40 | 34 | 45.5 | 15 |
| XL | 42 | 36 | 46 | 15.5 |
| XXL | 44 | 38 | 46.5 | 16 |
Hand-woven fabric can vary by up to half an inch across its width. That small irregularity is the signature of a pit loom, not a defect.
Our Craft
Mdwani
Mdwani began with a simple complaint: clothes that look right on a screen and wrong on a person. So we make fewer pieces and check each one on real bodies before it goes up.
Every listing names the actual fabric and gives garment measurements, not body measurements. If a piece runs small, the page says so.
Handloom First
Every weave sourced directly from artisan clusters, never mass mills.
Natural Fibres
Chanderi, Kota cotton and mulberry silk — breathable and kind to skin.
Fair to Makers
Transparent, above-market wages paid to every weaver we partner with.
Before You Order
Every product page has garment measurements in inches — measure a piece you already own and like, and match it. Between two sizes, our fits are relaxed, so the smaller one usually works.
Message us before you wear or wash it and we will sort out an exchange. Tell us what was wrong with the fit — it helps us make the next batch better.
The care label on the garment is the one to follow, and the product page repeats it. Most of what we make is happier hand-washed cold and dried in shade for the first few washes.
