Perfect Fit: Your Sizing Guide

Waist Beads Tying Guide

Step 1

Unhook your waist beads (one at a time).

Step 2

Place the waist beads around your waist to the point where you find them suitable.

Step 3

Get the tightness you desire and hold the end of the waist bead where you want it tied.

Step 4

If the remaining bead is long enough, pull them closer to the edge to allow enough space for tying. (The leftover beads can be used for an anklet or a bracelet).

Step 5

Tie the string or rope as tight as you want to depending on how permanently you want the waist beads on.

Step 6

Cut off any excess string and your waist bead is well tied.

Clothing Measuring Guide

Achieve the perfect fit for your Ayebea's Sankofa Marketplace clothing with our straightforward measuring guide. Ensure each piece complements your style and provides ultimate comfort.

  • Measure the fullest part of your bust, natural waist, and hips.
  • Keep the tape comfortably snug but not tight to allow for movement.
  • Consult our size chart to match your measurements with the corresponding size for the best fit.
  • Consider the design and fit of the garment. Some styles may be more fitted or relaxed, and your preference may influence your size choice.
  • For specific garments, refer to any additional measurements provided, such as length or sleeve inseam.
  • If you fall outside the average height range, consider the length of the garment to ensure it suits your proportions.

Jewelry Measuring Guide

Discover the ideal fit for your Ayebea's Sankofa Marketplace jewelry with our simple measuring guide. Whether it's bracelets or necklaces, ensure your accessories are perfect for you.

  • Measure your wrist circumference with a flexible tape measure.
  • Add 0.5 to 1 inch for a comfortable fit, or adjust based on your preference for a snug or looser feel.

Determine your desired necklace length based on your style:

  • Choker (14-16 inches): Sits closely around the neck.
  • Princess (18 inches): Falls just below the throat.
  • Matinee (20-24 inches): Rests at the collarbone or slightly below.
  • Factor in the neckline of your outfits when choosing necklace length. Different styles pair well with specific lengths.
  • If you prefer a looser fit or plan to layer your necklaces, consider adding an extra inch or two to your measurement.
  • Use a string to mimic the length and style you desire before committing to a specific size.
  • If you plan to wear a pendant, factor in its size and placement when selecting the necklace length.

Note: This is the traditional and authentic way of wearing waist beads in Ghana. Remember, permanent doesn't mean that the waist bead is irremovable.
