The fastest way to get your daughter's size right: measure her chest and shirt length with a soft tape, then match the bigger of the two measurements to the age-size chart — never order by age alone. Kids the same age can differ by two full sizes, and "age 9" from one brand rarely equals "age 9" from another. This guide shows you exactly how to measure at home in five minutes, with the complete Zardham size chart from 5–6 through 17–18.
Key facts
- Zardham girls' sizes are age ranges: 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, 17-18
- You need only two measurements for a shirt/kameez fit: chest and length (add waist for trousers/shalwar)
- If she's between sizes, size up — ethnic wear is cut to be worn slightly relaxed, and kids grow into it
- Measure over a thin shirt, not a sweater, tape snug but never tight
- Every Zardham parcel can be opened and checked before you pay the rider (COD nationwide), with a 7-day exchange if the fit is off
How do I measure my daughter at home?
You need a soft sewing tape, a thin shirt on the child, and five minutes. Do it standing, arms relaxed at the sides.
- Chest: wrap the tape around the fullest part of the chest, just under the armpits. Keep it level. She should breathe normally — if she holds her breath, re-measure.
- Shirt length: from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the neck) straight down to where you want the kameez to end.
- Waist (for shalwar/trousers): around the natural waistline, one finger inside the tape for comfort.
- Trouser length: from waist to ankle bone.
Write the numbers in inches. Morning measurements are most consistent.
Which size should I order by age?
Match her chest measurement to the chart first; use age only as a starting point.

What if she's between two sizes?
Size up. A kameez half an inch roomy still looks right; half an inch tight doesn't close. Sizing up also buys a second season of wear — most parents get 12–18 months from a size when they round up.
Do fabrics fit differently?
Yes — cotton and lawn have no stretch, so trust the tape, not the label. Zardham's girls' range is mostly lawn, cotton and jacquard: none of these stretch like knits. Jacquard and raw silk pieces sit slightly more structured; if your daughter prefers loose fits, go one size up in those.
The 3 mistakes that cause most exchanges
- Ordering by age alone. Tall 8-year-olds fit 9-10; petite 10-year-olds fit 7-8.
- Measuring over thick clothes. Adds 1–2 inches and pushes you a full size out.
- Pulling the tape tight. Snug, never compressed — you're measuring her, not the tape's strength.

FAQ
What size is a 7 year old girl in Pakistani clothes?
Usually size 7-8, but confirm with a chest measurement — if her chest matches the 9-10 column, order 9-10.
Do Zardham clothes shrink after washing?
Wash cold, gentle cycle, line-dry in shade; measurements are taken pre-wash, so avoid hot water on cotton and lawn.
Can I exchange if the size is wrong?
Yes — report within 7 days of delivery with tags intact, via WhatsApp +92 326 8201163. You can also open the parcel before paying the rider.
