Size Chart
Fabric Requirements
Your fabric choice will influence how your final garment fits. A lighter, stretchier fabric (such as DBP) will be lighter and looser while a heavier, structured fabric (such as cotton spandex) will have a tighter, more compressive fit. If your fabric is unstable vertically (such as rayon spandex), you may find the garment will 'grow' longer on you.
Bands/bindings require a knit fabric with at least 50% stretch and excellent recovery. Consider using a lighter weight fabric for the flower binding to reduce bulk.
For the skirt separate: The encased elastic waistband can be made out of the same fabric as your skirt. Knit waistband requires a knit fabric with at least 50% stretch and excellent recovery.
Measurements are in yards and based on 56” wide fabric. Yardage assumes that your fabric has been prewashed and preshrunk. Extra fabric may be required for matching prints, directional fabric, or if you need to add length.

Flower Back Option: 1" (2.5cm) INNER diameter metal or plastic O ring. Take care when purchasing that you look at the measurements given. If the 1" ring inner circumference is less than 1", try looking for a larger size ring. If you are using a lighterweight fabric, plastic will be a better option due to the weight of the metal ring.
1" or 2" non-roll knit elastic for the skirt separate encased elastic option.
IF you are adding your skirt to a bodice, you may want 1/4" knit elastic to add to your waist seam
