    Finished Garment Measurements:

    This dress has a relaxed fit. It is not loose, but it is designed to skim the body instead of clinging. It is tea length with the hem hitting a few inches above the ankle. The waist has a bit of added ease so that the adjustable tie at the back can cinch it in, or be loosened when you want a little bit of extra space. This dress was drafted using sample measurements for a height of 5’6”.
