Finished Measurements
Note: This dress has a very fitted bodice. The bodice was designed to fit with ½ to 1½ inch (1.3 to 3.8 cm) of ease in the bust and waist. The Trumpet Skirt is fitted in the hip, with between 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of ease. For the Flared Skirt and Yoke Skirt, hip measurements are not important when choosing your size, as these skirts are full.
