    It is exactly my hip measurements which is 46.5.
    What do you advise pls.

    Should i add 10 inches instead of 8 inches?. Kindly advise thanks

      @Theonlychioma  4 роки тому

      Hello, you can add 6 inches to all your measurements instead of 8 because you have hip. So add 6 to 38.5 and 6 to 46.5.
      You can make adjustments on the dress as you sew so it’ll give you the fitting you want.
