Biba Buying Guide: Shopping Ethnic Wear That Fits Right

Kurtas, sarees, and suits — how to pick the right fit and fabric when shopping ethnic wear online.

Jul 15, 2026

Biba sells ethnic wear including kurtas, suits, sarees, and fusion pieces. Since these styles fit differently from Western sizing, the label's own size chart matters more than the size you'd normally pick in casual wear.

Fabric affects both comfort and how formal a piece reads — cotton and cotton-blends work well for daily or office wear, while silk and heavier embroidered fabrics suit festive or event occasions. Match the fabric to the occasion before the print or color.

For suits and kurta sets, check whether the bottoms (churidar, palazzo, straight pants) are included or sold separately, and confirm the length listed (e.g. knee-length vs. ankle-length) matches what you pictured — this is a common source of returns.

Embellished or embroidered pieces usually need dry cleaning rather than machine washing — check the care label before buying if you want something low-maintenance for regular wear.

Before you check out, check our Deals page for any current Biba coupon codes — offers rotate, so it's worth a quick look each time.
