Part I: Multi‑Strand Tie‑On Waistbeads (Exact Fit Only)
Fit Philosophy
These waistbeads are non‑adjustable once tied. Accurate measurement is essential.
How Sizing Works
- Sizes are selected by inches only.
- Customers must choose their exact inch measurement.
- Measure at the exact placement where you want the waistbeads to sit (high waist, navel, low waist, hips, etc.).
- Refer to our Measurement Guide before purchasing.
⚠️ Because these are custom‑fit, incorrect measurements may affect comfort and wearability. Due to the unique design, these are not for everybody. More size options are coming soon for inclusivity. Explore our other styles, like single‑strand tie-on waistbeads, which offer adjustable sizing and accommodate a wider range of body types.
Key Features
- Multi‑strand design for layered elegance
- Ethically sourced beads from Liberia
- Tie‑on style, made for long‑term wear
- Crafted to honor body placement and intention
Part II: Multi‑Strand Elastic Waistbeads (Adjustable Fit)
Fit Philosophy
These strands offer flexibility with structure. While elastic allows for stretch and movement, proper sizing still matters for longevity and comfort.
Sizing Options
Customers may choose standard size categories or specify an exact inch measurement.
Elastic Size Chart (Guide)
🔹 Elastic waistbeads may stretch or cinch over time depending on wear and placement.
Key Features
- Multi‑strand elastic construction
- Adjustable for movement and body changes
- Ethically sourced Liberian beads
- Suitable for fluctuating waist or hip measurements
Measurement Guidance (Required Reading)
For both styles:
- Measure directly on bare skin or thin clothing
- Use a soft measuring tape
- Measure snug but not tight
- Measure at the desired placement, not necessarily your natural waist
✨ Your body is not meant to conform to the beads — the beads are made to honor your body.
