Description Nothing says summer elegance quite as well as a dramatic caftan. Charlie is a fresh take on this warm weather staple. All versions feature a deep V neckline, short dolman sleeves, inset center panel and roomy pockets. View A is modern and architectural with striking pleats beneath the bust. For a softer, more romantic dress, Views B & C feature a gently gathered bodice with an optional waist tie for a figure-skimming silhouette in two skirt lengths. You may also choose between a dramatically wide sleeve or one slightly higher cut for more coverage. Since there is some overlap between our two size ranges, you may be wondering which one to choose. The main difference between the two size ranges is that the 14-32 range is drafted for larger busts with a more pear-shaped lower body. If you fall in one of the overlapping sizes, we suggest determining your cup size first by measuring your full bust and high bust and subtracting one from the other. Each inch difference equals one cup size. If you are a D cup or larger, our 14-32 range will ensure the best fit through the bust. If you are an A/B/C cup through the bust and less pear-shaped, the 0-20 range will be the best option. Downloads for both size ranges are available, be sure to only print the one you wish to use.

If your difference exceeds 4", you may need a full bust adjustment. If your difference is smaller, you may need a small bust adjustment. · Note: even if your numeric size overlaps with the 0-20 range, body measurements are not the same — always size by measurements, not past size.
