*** PLEASE TAKE NOTE!! – Bodices are different than corsets…
Please follow the measuring guide below and don't reduce your measurements. Bodices are not designed or built for tight lacing but are meant to be an outer garment to "finish off" your outfit.
Although I build my bodices to last, bodices are not built like corsets, or meant to be corsets, and so accidental damage may occur with more delicate outer fabrics. My bodices can be worn without a corset, but wearing it as a corset and tight lacing may cause the bodice to suffer abnormal wear and tear.
If you choose to wear a corset under your new bodice, take your measurements of your bust and waist with the corset adjusted how you want it following the guide below. Again, make sure to not reduce your measurements.
The Green Dragonfly does not take responsibility for bodice damage due to failure to follow these instructions or the measurement guide instructions below.
If you have further questions, you can read through my FAQ section, or contact me via convos here on Etsy.
Thank you.

**Bodice Measurements** This bodice will comfortably fit the measurements listed below.
Bust -36.75-39.75 inches
Waist – 28.5-31.5 inches
Center Back length – 13.75 inches
**How to measure yourself for a good fit…
1. Take a measurement of the fullest part of your bust that includes the bra or corset you intend to wear underneath.
2. Your natural waist. (Measure right where you bend naturally – Do not measure where most of us wear our jeans.)
**** Please Note – Remember…If your measurements fall at the lowest measurement the garment will close completely at all lacing points. If you want your garment to be 'open' a little you must make sure that your measurements are larger by an inch or so than the lowest measurement.
ALSO, if your measurements are larger than the largest numbers listed for the bodice, the garment WILL NOT fit properly and will 'distort' which is not a good look for anyone.
*****Please Measure Carefully! I can not accept returns on bodices.
