Fit + Care
Our Best pinafore dress is back in the glorious cotton Japanese taffeta. Perfect for layering and wearing over trousers, or if you are feeling bold with a pair of tights. Pair with the Thomasina sweater underneath or layer with an over sized sweater over for a lovely layering effect. The dress is fitted around the top, even though she is sleeveless, with a side panel added for extra A line flare. The dress is lined in cotton for a softer feeling. Buttons are on one shoulder to make it easy to take on and off. A perfect transitional piece that will remain relevant for years to come.

Sizing Notes
The measurements are measured to the nearest quarter inch or centimetre.
To achieve an accurate measurement for your bust, please measure around the fullest part of your bust. You do not need to measure over your shoulder blades for your bust measurement.
To achieve an accurate measurement for your waist, please measure around the natural waist, keeping the tape measure taut but not tight. If you measure too tightly the fit will come up small.
To achieve an accurate measurement for your hips, stand with your feet together. Measure around the fullest part of your bottom at the top of your leg, usually about 20cm (8’’) below your natural waistline.
Please note the measurements given in the garment descriptions are taken from a size 10 or a small when laid flat, and unless stated, they are measured at the front of the body.
We do not take measurements from the back body but please do get in touch and we will be happy to give measurements over the phone or via email for specific sizes and styles.
