SUGGESTED FABRICS:
You will get a different look depending on the type of fabric you select. A drapey rayon or silk will give it a more elegant dressy look, while a more sturdy fabric like a linen will give you a structured everyday dress. We encourage you to be creative and daring with fabric! It would look amazing in a cotton voile, rayon challis, or chiffon.
 
FINDING YOUR SIZE:
The fit of the Wilder is loose and flowy with a lot of ease. It fits kind of like a nightgown. If you are making the gown, the waist seam is designed to hit just below your bust. The short sleeve option is on the longer side and the hem hits a couple inches above your elbow. The length is designed to be a long midi. This pattern was drafted for a B cup and a height of 5’5” (1,65m). It was tested and found suitable for a variety of cup sizes and includes instructions for a simple full bust adjustment.
