This dress was drafted using sample measurements for a height of 5’6”[168cm]. We recommend sewing a toile to check the fit before cutting into your nice fabric!
A Couple Recommendations to Help Pick a Size:
- Choose your starting size based on your full bust measurement.
- When selecting a cup size (B/C or C/D) choose the option closer to the bra cup size that you wear.
