The Marcel is a woven dress and tank top that is fitted through the high bust and loose through the bust, waist and hips. There are two dress views: View A is midi length and View B is mini length. View C is a tank top that ends at the high hip.

CUP SIZE

The cup size is determined by calculating the difference between the high bust and full bust. If the difference between the high bust and full bust is between 0” and 2” (5 cm), use the A/B cup. If the difference is between 2” (5 cm) and 4” (10 cm), use the C/D cup. If you have more than a 4” (10 cm) difference, you may need a full bust adjustment. More details on a full bust adjustment below.

BODY MEASUREMENTS

It is very common to fall across a few different sizes. After you determine what cup size to make, pick a size that works for your high bust and full bust.

FINISHED GARMENT MEASUREMENTS

The high bust includes 1.5” (4 cm) of ease. There is 11” (28 cm) of ease through the full bust and 20” (51 cm) of ease through the waist and hips.

Review the finished garment measurements to determine if you would like to adjust the length. For reference, the center back to hem measurement is taken from right above your bra band to the finished hem of the dress or tank. It might be helpful to have someone help you take this measurement.

The Midi Dress is designed to finish above the ankle, and depending on your height may end up finishing more like a maxi dress. The Mini Dress is designed to be a true mini and is very short, finishing above the knee. The Tank Top is designed to finish at the high hip, just slightly longer than a cropped length.
