SIZE CHART IN INCHES

Finished garment sizing for the FREYA BUTTERCUP DRESS

Finished garment sizing for the Freya Buttercup Dress. We recommend focusing on the bust measure- ment. For a more fitted top around the bust (or lower cut dress) you can choose the finished bust mea- surement that is the same as your full bust measurement. For a more relaxed and fit allow up to 4cm (so your bust measurement + ease). As it’s a wrap dress and you will sew a closing at the cross over at the bust area so you can also adjust how low cut the dress is here.

The hip and measurements are slightly more flexible, as it’s a wrap dress.

To get the right mini length, measure from your waist to the ideal length you would like the skirt to sit and compare to above WAIST TO MINI LENGTH, then shorten or lengthen the pattern as needed to achieve desired length.

All sizing is in UK/AUS sizing - for our size conversion chart head to madelabel.co/sizing
