Custom Sizing at Barakah: What to Expect

Ready-to-wear is a compromise: it fits the average and asks everyone else to adjust. Custom sizing works differently. It begins with you, and the garment is built to follow.
The process starts with three measurements: height, shoulder width, and preferred length, which you can take at home in a few minutes using our illustrated guide. Send them to us on WhatsApp, and our team will confirm the details before anything is cut.
From there, your abaya moves through the same Karachi atelier as every Barakah piece: cut to your measurements and finished by hand. Typical lead time for a made-to-order piece is fifteen days to one month.
When it arrives, it should feel as though it was always yours, because, in the way that matters, it was. That is the purpose of custom sizing: not more choice for its own sake, but a garment made to fit you exactly.
