Measuring
Bust
Circumference around your ribcage at the fullest part of your bust. This is usually nipple height.
Waist
This can be a little confusing because a lot of people don’t actually know where their natural waist is. It is not always the smallest part of your torso if you don’t happen to have an hourglass shape. Your waist is located halfway between the end of your ribs and the top of your hip bones.
Hips
The hip measurement is not literally taken from around your hip bones, rather, the hip measurement indicates the fullest part around your bottom.

THE DRESS
Jenna is a super elegant hip-skimming, leg-lengthening Empire line dress with a bias cut skirt. Featuring a darted bodice with two different neckline and sleeve options that are entirely interchangeable, you can choose from a low square neck with short sleeves and a pretty tie cuff, or a demure jewel neck and optional Peter-Pan collar with slim bracelet length cuffed sleeves, or any bodice-sleeve combination and skirt length you prefer.
Multi-sized sewing pattern from UK 6 / US 2 up to UK 24 / US 20
This pattern can be printed on 3x A0 copyshop files, or 15x A4 sheets (Variation 1 bodice) + 17x A4 sheets (Variation 2 bodice) + 31x A4 sheets (skirt).
The bias cut skirt will benefit from a light to medium weight woven fabric with a bit of body. Opt for crepe, floaty or drapey silks and rayons, silk noil, flannel and soft cottons or linen. However, we have also seen this dress beautifully made in more rigid fabrics such as silk organza and lace and she's just as pretty!
The bodice and sleeves can handle a wide variety of fabrics, including more stable wovens, so feel free to have fun experimenting with contrasting fabrics!
