It's American size XL... which means it's too big for her and... yey!! too big for me too!!! (I was just happy I don't fit in an XL, haha). Anyway... I really don't wear stuff like these, except for when I was pregnant and had to stay at home most of the time. So I did a little cutting here, and a little sewing there... and came up with this:
Now this is something I can wear.
Here are the details of my 'little cutting here... and little sewing there...":
First I took a white shirt whose fit I liked and laid the dress over it.
I just needed to see how much of the white shirt I needed. I live in a tropical country so layering like this is not practical. Based on this, I saw that I only needed the upper part of the shirt to about an inch below the armpits.
I cut the shirt.
It's actually just a promo shirt from my bro-in-law's cargo company so I don't really use the shirt much. |

This picture was taken with me facing a mirror so the flower appears on the left shoulder (reflection). It's actually sewn on the right shoulder.
