Notes	Fabric: I use 2 pieces of 1x1.5 m cotton fabric, that is on one side brushed that makes it look like flannel. The color is a darker dusky pinky-peach, and it darkens too much if wet. Being worried any sweat would show on the fabric eventually, I place matching lace pieces on the side as decoration, and using the same at the slit. Fit: I have ordered custom measurements pattern with only one custom option: low hip height. But it turns out to be a fail because although the torso is now longer that is fine, but the waist measurement is over 15 cm larger than the size I gave that should not be the case. The rest fits well, hip was 8 cm too large but it could just be the design ease. But the waist must have an issue. The panels at the waist don’t match up. I think with standard size or larger size the pattern would work, I am sure It is bugging only with smaller custom measurements. I still recommend the pattern because it is a gorgeous design.
