Oppedette Dress
Crafted in a timeless navy-blue cotton gingham check, the Oppedette Dress echoes the whispers of a bygone era. Featuring a scoop neckline that elegantly frames your decolletage, mother-of-pearl buttons along a French seamed bodice, and hidden side pockets in the softly pleated skirt. The unique lace up detailing on the sleeves adds another layer of romance and the self sash allows you to cinch in your waist to your liking. Let the Oppedette Dress transport you to the sun-kissed streets of Provence where you'll enjoy languid afternoons and stolen glances at the village square market.

Model Info: Stephanie typically wears a size XS (32/34). She is 5'7" (170cm) tall, her bust is 32" (82cm), her waist is 26" (66cm), and her lower hip is 35" (89cm). She is wearing a size 34.
This is our typical size chart. If you are a size 32 (XS) in our garments, your bust, waist, and hips should be consistent with the measurements listed below. If you are in between measurements, depending on the style, you may need to size up or size down. Each product listing will include fit notes so you can make the most informed decision for yourself. You may find, depending on varying silhouettes, that you will need to purchase different sizes for different garments. Purchase based on the measurement that is most consistent for your body (i.e.-- if your waist size fluctuates but your bust does not, purchase based on your waist measurement and get the bust taken in with your tailor).

| 32 | 31-33 | 24-25 | up to 34 |
| 34 | 33-35 | 26-27 | up to 36 |

Since receiving my Opedette dress, she's one I've been reaching for repeatedly! As you can see from the picture, she isn't so precious that you're afraid to wear her (even while sketching/painting), but she instantly makes me feel put together. The waist ties attach at the sides, not in the back/front. For me, this means the seam where the skirt meets the bodice sits below the belt at times. If I want it to match up I have to give a tug now and then. I am short waisted, and between sizes, so this might not be an issue for longer waisted girlies! It does allow choice for how fitted or flounced you want the waist. For reference, I am a 33 bust and sized up to a 34 for a looser fit in the bodice. I think I could have comfortably sized down, but am happy anyway!
I have never met a gingham I didn’t like. The fabric choice and design on this dress are amazing. The detail on the sleeves is my favorite! Hand me my straw hat and I am ready for a picnic, a stroll in the park, or even just my errands :)
