Size Guide

Choose your bust size based on how much negative ease you prefer.

If you’re using wool (merino, super wash etc), choose a bust size with 0-2 inches of negative ease. If using plant fiber (bamboo, cotton), choose a bust size with 2-4 inches of negative ease. The reason is that wool has more elasticity and plant fibres won’t bounce back, so the ribbing along the back will be affected by the type of yarn used.

DAPHNE BUTTON DRESS is intended to be worn with approximately 2-4 inches / 7.5-12.5 cm of negative ease built in around the bust, and 0 - 3 inches / 0 - 7.5 cm of positive ease around the hips built in.

Measure yourself before beginning to ensure that you choose the right size. For example: Your bust circumference is [34 - 4 = 30 inches] 86 cm - 5 cm = 81 cm i.e. you can work a size S for 4 inches / 10 cm of negative ease.

The hip size is customisable within the pattern.
