Important to Know

What Does One Size Mean at NamasAham?

Many pieces in the NamasAham range are labelled One Size. This does not mean one size fits all in the traditional sense. It means the garment has been designed with a relaxed, flowing, or adjustable cut that naturally accommodates a wider range of body shapes and sizes than a standard fixed-size garment would.

Most One Size pieces at NamasAham are generous in their cut and work comfortably across South African sizes 34 to 44, and in many cases beyond that. Fabrics like rayon, chiffon and silk blends drape and move with the body rather than against it. Where a specific One Size piece has a narrower range, this will be noted clearly in the product description.

If you are ever unsure whether a One Size piece will work for your specific measurements, please message Ursula directly on WhatsApp before purchasing. She knows every piece personally and can tell you immediately whether it will work for you.

Flowing Fabrics

Rayon, chiffon and silk blends drape with the body and naturally accommodate more shapes than structured fabrics.

✨

Adjustable Cuts

Many One Size pieces have elasticated waists, tie closures or open fronts that allow the fit to be adjusted to your shape.

Before You Check the Table

How to Measure Yourself

1
Bust Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Keep it comfortably snug, not tight.
2
Waist Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button. Breathe out naturally before measuring.
3
Hips Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, usually about 20cm below your natural waist.
4
Tips Use a soft tape measure. Stand straight and relaxed. Measure over your underwear or a thin layer for the most accurate result.
