Cotton Blouse Piece — 1 Metre
All measurements in inches. Bust and waist are full round (circumference). Half an inch to one inch variation is possible. If between sizes, choose the larger size. The letters in the drawings match the table columns. Easiest way to measure: lay a top or skirt that fits well flat on a table; for B, C and E measure straight across and double it.
