Abimbola African Print Maxi Dress

1. Between Sizes: If you find your measurements fall between two sizes, it's generally a good idea to opt for the larger size. This ensures a more comfortable fit.

2. Specific Designs: The right size may depend on the design.

   • For pieces that are fitted at the top and looser at the bottom, base your choice on your upper body size.
   • For flare skirts, focus on your waist measurements.
   • For more formfitting skirts, your hip measurements are the key.
   • Co-ords with trousers have an elastic waistband at the back. Choose these based on your hip size for the perfect fit.
   • Prioritise for Infinity designs hip and waist measurements, in that order. The straps will be the same for every size, so no need to worry about the top sizes.
   • Dress sizes vary with design:
     • For maxi and A-line dresses, choose based on your upper body size.
     • For bodycon dresses, select according to your hip size.

3. Material Considerations: Keep in mind that African wax fabric is 100% cotton and does not stretch. This is important for fit and comfort, especially since sizes are fixed.
