Dawn & Team

Such a sweet, mod inspired dress and coat! The A-line silhouette features a lowered waistline, decorated with fake pocket flaps. Sleeveless dress has a faux fly fastening at the centre front, but fastens with a zipper closing at the centre back. The coat has a front fly fastening. Go for one solid colour or mix things up by using complimentary fabrics on the top and bottom sections of the body.

Use the size chart above to find your closest modern-day size equivalent in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the USA or Canada, using your bust measurement in inches or centimetres.

How to Measure Your Bust

  1. Wear a well-fitting bra.
  2. Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust.
  3. Keep the tape level across your back and comfortably snug, without pulling it tight.
  4. Record your measurement in inches or centimetres and compare it with our size chart.

For the best fit, always choose your pattern size based on your body measurements, not your usual shop size. Always check your bust measurement before ordering!
