Fit & Modifications I wanted this to fit skin-tight so I carefully reviewed the finished garment measurements and chose a size that was just below my actual measurements this created negative ease with my fabric that had a generous two-way stretch I added 1.5 to the bodice length as a standard #sewingtall adjustment I added 4 5/8 in length between the waistline and fullest part of my hip while re-drawing the hip curve to match my dimensions at the high hip with negative ease

The fitted bodice paired with a full, voluminous skirt produces the classic formal shape seen at galas, black-tie weddings, charity events, and any occasion where grand elegance is expected
