Fit and size:
Choose your size based on your bust circumference. Add a recommended positive ease of 2.6–4.7"/7–12 cm. Pick the size that is the best match for your bust. Note: As this is a slip-on design, take care that your bust measurement doesn’t exceed the waist measurement of the finished dress.

Fabric recommendations:
Choose a light to medium weight fabric like linen, cotton, or denim. Choosing a fabric with more stability will bring structure and volume to the garment.
