🎯 How to Determine Your Perfect Fit
-
Measure your bust: Wrap tape measure around the fullest part of your chest—halter necklines are fitted here
-
Measure your waist: Find your natural waistline (narrowest part)—this is where the belt will cinch
-
Measure length preference: From shoulder to mid-calf to ensure authentic rockabilly midi length
-
Consider the halter: This neckline is adjustable via tie—you control the fit and support
-
Between sizes? Size up for comfort; the belt will define your waist regardless
-
Petticoat ready: The full skirt works beautifully with or without a petticoat for extra vintage volume
