🌙 How to Determine Your Perfect Fit

Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips
-
Length: This mini dress is designed to hit mid-thigh on most body types
Between Sizes? Size up for a more relaxed, flowy fit. Size down for a closer, more fitted silhouette. Remember: the dead don't judge, but proper fit makes all the difference.
