The Damn Good Dress appears more fitted in the front than it truly is. There is plenty of extra volume in the back body to allow for comfortable movement and beautiful draping along the waist when you tie the elastic filled belt. The armholes are wide and open, which helps the overall shaping of the shoulders and relaxed fit across the bust. If you prefer more closed armholes, you can add bar-tacks after completing your dress at the point you wish to close the armhole to or follow our YouTube tutorial for how to sew the armholes smaller which is available on the video tutorial page of our website. The length is meant to hit at your mid-to-lower calf. Overall, the fit runs big and roomy with lots of voluminous drama in the back. Size down if you are in between sizes or if you are concerned about too much volume.
