Measurements from abroad
Getting measurements right from abroad
Guests flying in from London, Houston or Lagos can still have a perfect fit. It just needs a tape, a friend and a little care.
Use a soft tape and a helper
Measuring yourself always gives a smaller bust and a crooked length. Ask someone to help and stand naturally.
Send a photo of the style
A photo of the style you want, plus your height, helps the tailor more than a long description.
Plan the fitting
Book a fitting at the studio for the day after you land, at least four days before the event, so there is time for adjustments.
Ship early if you cannot come
If you will not be in Onitsha before the day, we courier the finished outfit to you three weeks before.

How much to charge guests for aso ebi
Aso ebi should not make the celebrant poorer, and it should not feel like a business to guests. Here is how to set a fair price.
Can you help us set the price?
Yes. Send the fabric choice and guest numbers and we will suggest a fair price per guest.
Do you ship abroad?
Yes, by courier to the UK, US, Canada and elsewhere, quoted before you pay.
Planning a wedding, burial or birthday?
Tell us the date, the colours and roughly how many guests. We send fabric options and a price per person within a day, then run the whole aso ebi for you.
