Meh Dai FAQs

Our meh dai comes in two lengths, short and long.

Our short length meh dai features a waist band that accommodates waists up to 40” and the shoulder straps are 90" long.

Our long length meh dai features a waist band that accommodates waists up to 74” and the shoulder straps are 104" long.

We recommend basing your length choice on the waist band size. If you are between sizes, we suggest sizing up to ensure you have enough length in the waist band. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions on sizing!
