This dress is made from the sweetest set of vintage 1970's sheets. The bodice is trimmed with vintage rick rack. As most sheets were during this era, the fabric is "permanent press" which means it has a percentage of polyester. This gives the fabric the softness and feel of cotton, with the durability and iron-free benefits of polyester. This dress has a full skirt, with elasticated puff sleeves and a comfortable stretch panel in the back.
This style is designed to flatter, with princess seams and an elastic panel in the back for the perfect fit. This dress is a vintage length, hitting a few inches above the knee on an average height. I have given the "standard sizing" as a general reference. I'm sure you know that women's sizing can be wildly inconsistent, so I will include detailed measurements as well. If you don't know where to begin, you can compare these measurements to a garment that fits you well. This dress style is meant to have a slightly negative ease, meaning the bodice is meant to fit well against the body. The measurements given are unstretched. Your measurements should be same to an inch or two smaller than the unstretched measurements to ensure a good fit.
