SIZING
Approximately 28" x 28"
Every piece supports Filipino artisans and traditional craftsmanship.
Sizing can vary between Narra styles, so always check the SIZING information on the individual product page first.
Most Filipiniana and Barong fabrics have little to no stretch, and fit can vary depending on the cut, fabric, and how you prefer to wear your clothes. If you're between sizes or prefer a little more ease, we generally recommend sizing up.
HOW TO MEASURE
For the most accurate fit:
-
Measure over the undergarments you plan to wear with the garment.
-
If possible, have someone else take your measurements.
-
Keep the measuring tape comfortably snug, not tight.
