Your measurements

To make sure your costume fits, we check every order against the measurements you enter before shipping. If an item is too tight, we'll get in touch with you.

* Required: height and weight. All other measurements are optional but help us check the fit.

How to measure
  • Height: Without shoes, from the top of the head to the floor.
  • Weight: Your current body weight – it helps us judge the fit.
  • Chest: Under the arms, around the fullest part of the chest, snug but not tight.
  • Arm length: From the tip of the shoulder over the slightly bent elbow to the wrist.

Ideally, have someone else measure you – directly on the body, in underwear or close-fitting clothes.

A little room is fine Traditional costume pieces are cut generously. If an item has some room, you can have it taken in yourself by a tailor of your choice – an item that is too tight can hardly be altered. If in doubt, choose the larger size.

The Këmishë is the long shirt of the Albanian women's traditional costume – the light-coloured base layer over which the waistcoat and apron are worn. Our Këmishë from the Prizren line combines a flowing, long cut with fine red and black trims.

Design and special features

  • Ivory white, long cut
  • Wide, half-length sleeves
  • Slit neckline
  • Red and black woven trim on the neckline, sleeve edges and hem
