Important to Know

What Does Free Size Mean at NamasAham?

Many pieces in the NamasAham range are labelled Free 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 Free Size pieces are generous in their cut and work comfortably across South African sizes 34 to 44 and in many cases beyond that. Where a specific piece has a narrower range this will be noted clearly in the product description.

If you are ever unsure whether a Free Size piece will work for your 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. That is the personal touch NamasAham is known for.

Flowing Fabrics

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

Adjustable Cuts

Many Free 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.
