SEAM ALLOWANCE INSIDE

Room To Grow

Designed to Fit a Little Longer

Every House of Parvi garment is cut with extra seam allowance built in — so any tailor can release the seam and extend the fit when your body asks for it. Not a special feature of some pieces. A quiet decision, made once, applied to every piece we cut.

The Adjustment

A Seam That Held More Room Than It Showed

A shirt silhouette showing hidden side-seam allowance being released across three tap-through states — the body widens as the seam is let out.

Extra seam allowance is built in at the pattern stage. It sits folded inside the side seams — invisible in wear, held in reserve.

A tailor releases the first allowance a fraction. The body widens slightly, the silhouette holds. Do it at your tailor of choice, or send the piece back to us.

A second release, if a second is needed. The garment continues, finished as it began. Alterations are quoted by the piece — never free, always considered.

The Pattern-Stage Decision

Extra Fabric, Cut In from the Start

The allowance is made at the pattern-drafting stage, before a single seam is stitched. It is not a feature we add to certain pieces. It is a construction default the house committed to — extra fabric inside every seam that can be released later, on any garment we make.

Why It Matters

A Body Changes. A Garment Can Change With It.

Weight fluctuates. Pregnancy reshapes. Ageing rewrites proportions. A garment sized precisely for one moment is a garment abandoned at the next. Room to Grow refuses that arithmetic — the piece bought at thirty-two can still fit at thirty-eight, released a little at the hands of a tailor who knows how.

What It Looks Like

Finished, Not Provisional

A released hem reads as a considered hem — not a repair. The allowance is graded and finished at the pattern stage, so when a tailor lets it out, the garment still wears as a finished object. India has kept this practice quietly for centuries: the sari extends without alteration, and the sui-dhaaga tailor is living infrastructure — in every neighbourhood, keeping pieces in service across a lifetime.
