Note: If you fit into both size ranges and are unsure which to purchase, the 6-14 size range has been drafted for a larger bust cup and a curvier figure. The 1-8 size range is based on a dressmaker’s B cup and a 5'3"-5'7" height. The 6-14 size range is based on a dressmaker’s D cup and a 5'3"-5'8" height. To determine your dressmaker’s cup size, measure your full bust and upper bust and subtract. Each 2.5 cm (1") difference equates to one cup size.
Notions: Dress and skirt: 0.5 m of 1.5 cm wide fusing tape // Dress only: 35 cm invisible zipper // Skirt only: fusing; 20 cm invisible zipper; one 20 mm button.
