Size guide
Skirt No. 1 has a tight fit. Calculate a negative ease of approx. 2-4 cm 0.75-1.5 inches. That is 2-4 cm less than your waist measurement. The skirt is designed to sit just at the navel. However, measure where you’d like the elastic to sit on your body for a custom fit.

Example: You measure 74 cm 29.25 inches around your waist - 2-4 cm 0.75-1.5 inches = 70-72 cm 27.5-28.25 inches. So you should make size S with a waist circumference of 72 cm 28.25 inches.
