Item description & background story:
This is a classic, gorgeous, vintage, hand-made Spanish flamenco dress, or vestido de gitana. Sourced right here locally in the south of Spain, Andalusia, which is the heart and soul of Flamenco culture. It is perfect for riding, flamenco shows, theatre, or cos-play. I love this particular dress because the back is very open.
Measurements:
You must check your own measurements against the measurements of the dress, otherwise it might not fit you properly. You can always tailor it down if the dress is too large.
1.) Bust = 32 inches
2.) Waist = 26 inches
3.) Hips = 30 inches
4.) Back shoulder to waist = 13 inches
5.) Back shoulder to hips = 18.5 inches
6.) Back shoulder to hemline = 58 inches
7.) Extra cloth? Yes, 2 inches extra to take out around the bodice (bust, waist, and hips).
If you do not know how to measure yourself properly, please follow these instructions:
There are three key points: your bust, waist and hips. You should measure against your body, not through clothes, to get the most accurate measurements. Use a flexible tape measure and make sure it’s not too tight or too loose.
1.) Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, ensuring the tape measure is straight across your back.
2.) Waist: Measure around the smallest part of your waist. To find this, bend to one side like a teapot and where the crease forms is your natural waist.
3.) Hips: With your feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips, usually 20cm down from the natural waistline.
4.) Length: Measure from your shoulder down to your ankles. You might need someone to help you read the measurement because bending over disrupt the measurement.
FAQ:
1.) What size is the dress?
The dress doesn’t correspond with a standard size because it a handmade dress. The best way to quickly tell if the dress might fit you is to measure your waist, and compare it to the waist of the dress (see measurements above). It is always easier to make a dress smaller than to make it larger. But some of the dresses have extra cloth which you can, in fact, use to make the dress larger.
