These are body measurements, not garment measurements.
Adire is hand-dyed cotton. It softens with wear and may relax slightly after the first washes.
Care
Hand-wash cold with mild soap. No tumble-dry. Iron inside-out on medium heat. Expect slight dye release during the first washes, a natural characteristic of hand-dyed textiles that stabilizes with use.
