This pattern is sized by measurements, so it can be customized to you! I provided a size chart to select a general US size, this chart is based off of OpalMoon Designs sizes on their Etsy pages for the Panel Dress (see measurements in description here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/651303025/the-striped-panel-...). This dress is not the original construction of the dress requires some sewing on the shoulders and sides, and there are some different options for sewing on the sides. If you use natural fibers, it will be stretchy enough to completely close the sides. First you will see a stitch diagram, then I will provide written instructions, which will reference size chart measurements, and then I will add pictures to help you sew and construct your panel dress!
