Leaf - Hand Block Printed Dress

Please note that the measurements are of the garment and not the body. To find the right size, measure your comfortable-fitting garment and compare it to our size chart; you will find a match. Our clothes are meant to be worn loose. Due to the French seam finish, this garment has no margin inside for alterations.

2] Which size would fit me?

Our size chart shows "Garment measurements," not "Body measurements." Measure your comfortable garment and compare it with our size chart for the best fit. Remember, our garments are designed to be worn a bit loose.
