As far size specifics go, I don’t pore over garment measurements as a lot as I do with trousers, primarily as a result of I wish to see the place the costume lands on the match mannequin and resolve from there. If it’s above mid-calf, it’ll often hit me above the ankle; if it’s mid-calf on the mannequin, it’ll be nearer to a maxi on me. (Name it an informed guess with a 60/40 success fee.) I additionally keep away from maxis (a “longer” midi is that for me anyway), and put on minis sparingly since these too might be hit and miss. For a extra measured strategy, 51 inches and below is an efficient place to begin. Virtually all retailer websites will present these measurements, and in the event that they don’t, I’d verify a couple of completely different locations to check sizing particulars. Over time, you’ll lower by way of the litter and discover that candy spot size that works greatest in your model and body. A couple of summer time favorites to get you your individual manner, under.
