WING BUST STYLE
(Click "here" to go to the Wing Bust page)
*Wing Bust
- Original-with box pleated full skirt, dropped waist and pointed bodice (great for a small waist!)
- with full 3/4 circle skirt/no gathering at waist (the most slimming full skirt option)
- with full 3/4 skirt/very dropped waist/ straight seam at dropped waist and no zipper in the back
- with sarong skirt (universally flattering on hourglass figures of all sizes)
We recommend cotton or a crisp silk for the Wing Bust because these are perky fabrics that suit the design.
The dress will look nicest on you if you have a "defined waist". However, dress is quite stretchy and adaptable!
Skirt length for the Original is fixed at 28 from natural waist to hem. Please notify us if you prefer another length.

If your waist is 34-38.5 you will need to choose your pattern from the Large or the XL and request alterations. To do this, note your
full bust measurement and decide how much of "you" is in the front and how much is in your back. If more in the bust, go with the XL . If you have a large back choose the Large.
(The cups on the XL are definitely deeper and wider than the Large)
To order this dress, specify the skirt style and the pattern you want, using the above chart and provide:
your full bust measurement
your waist measurement
We will assume you have an average length torso unless we are otherwise informed.
*Wing Bust Bodice with Sarong Skirt (Click "here" to go to the page)
The Wing Bust Bodice can also be ordered so that it has a straight seam at the waist and a sarong skirt instead of a full skirt. We include a custom-fit skirt in our regular range but the bodice sizes must be chosen from fixed pattern sizes, as specified here.
Measurements to specify:
Full bust
Waist
Hips
Skirt Length is 29.5 unless you specify a shorter length. Extra charge for longer length if fabric is wide enough.
