How to take your measurements, step by step
Useful lengths
- Flaring : width of the bottom of the dress.
- Strap → hem : from the top of the ramp.
- Waist → hem : from the waist to the bottom.
Common errors
- Measure over heavy clothing.
- Tighten the ribbon too much (false ease).
- Unnatural posture (bending over, tucking in the stomach).
Shapes & cuts that flatter
Silhouette A
Prioritize fell smoothly And draped mesh to balance the build. A half size larger softens the hips.
Silhouette H
Focus on pieces that provide structure: textured jacquard, belted cuts, controlled volumes.
Silhouette V
Promote subjects to fell soft and the openwork hook to soften the top; a slight volume at the bottom rebalances.
Silhouette
Emphasize the waist: fitted cuts, fabrics semi-stretch who marry without compressing.
Impact of Misciano materials on fit
- Draped mesh : fluid drape, second-skin comfort.
- Openwork hook : stretchy and breathable.
- Textured jacquard : discreet support; for more comfort, consider the half size larger.
Practical cases to decide quickly
You oscillate between M and L
On a crochet dress, take L : the fit will remain flattering without marking.
Generous chest
Choose a size larger jacquard to avoid tension in the bust.
Slim waist, full hips
There draped knit in a larger size preserves the fluidity and enhances the curve.
FAQs
I'm between two sizes: which one should I choose?
To maintain the fluidity and ease characteristic of Misciano stitches, take the larger size, especially in crochet and draped stitches.
How do I take my measurements correctly?
Chest : tape flat under the armpits, around the fullest part. Size : at the thinnest place. Hips : feet together, at widest point (~20 cm below natural waist).
Do your materials fit differently?
Draped mesh : very fluid and comfortable. Openwork hook : stretchy and breathable. Jacquard : subtle hold; if you like ease, consider a half size up.
How to quickly convert cm ↔ inches?
1 inch = 2.54 cm. Multiply inches by 2.54 to get centimeters; divide centimeters by 2.54 for inches.
