Size Selection Guidance

Because bias-cut garments expand horizontally when stretched vertically, select size primarily based on full bust with 4 cm (1.5") of positive ease. Hang garment for 24 hours prior to hemming.

Wearing Ease Explanation

Gentle positive ease of +4 cm (+1.5") at bust. Bias cut accommodates natural curves fluidly.
