The spiraling lines of lace holes gives the fabric of this dress a stretch-to-fit character, like a bias-cut dress. The same dress will accommodate a variety of sizes, and simply fall longer on a slimmer figure.
The dress is designed to have negative ease on the bust, to be fitted at the waist, and to have a little positive ease on the hips.
The pattern is written in one size, to fit bust 39”, waist 31”, hips 40”
