Why Your Kurti Length Matters

Short Girl Problems vs. Tall Girl Struggles: Why Your Kurti Length Matters

If you are 5’2″, you know the frustration. You buy a stunning floor-length Anarkali, only for it to arrive pooling at your feet. A visit to the tailor shortens the hem—and often removes the beautifully embroidered border you paid for.

If you are 5’8″, the experience is equally disappointing. A “Midi Dress” that should fall gracefully at the calf hits awkwardly at the knees, throwing off the entire silhouette.

The Real Problem with Standard Kurti Lengths in Online Shopping

Most kurtis are produced using a fixed “standard length,” typically between 44 and 46 inches. This approach assumes a single height profile, which rarely reflects real women. What’s meant to be convenient ends up compromising fit and design.

Why Height Matters More Than Size When Choosing a Kurti

Two women wearing the same size can have completely different experiences depending on their height. While size determines width, height determines balance, fall, and visual harmony. Ignoring it often leads to awkward lengths and altered designs.

How Height-Based Customization Creates the Perfect Fit

At FILLYFAB, we approach fit differently. Along with size, we consider height to ensure the kurti falls exactly as intended—preserving design details and delivering comfort without adjustments.

Designed for Petite and Tall Women—Without Compromise

For petite women, hems are adjusted to maintain embroidery and proportion.
For taller women, midi and maxi lengths are extended to offer elegance and coverage.

No tailoring. No compromises. Just clothing designed to fit you.
