The story:
Someone asked us about a button-down dress sometime back, and as we dug through out stockroom, we realised these were indeed rare birds!
And what a huge flapping of wings (yes our arms are not that thin, we know ;) there were when we found this gem!
These double bird prints are so cool, we almost flew off our perch in our excitement!
Once again we thought of removing the sleeves, but there weren't truly long sleeves (more like 3/4 sleeves) which could be rolled or pushed up anyways, and it would make it easier to wear with a jacket or cardigan (don't you hate it when short sleeves get all tangled up and lumpy under cardis with slimmer sleeves?). So we kept it in its original state!
Pinned?: No. But it was belted to show how it looks when worn with one.
Measurements:
All measurements are taken with the garment laid flat.
Please DOUBLE the measurements provided to get the approximate circumference measurements.
Alternatively, you can take a piece of your own clothing, lay it flat, measure it and make a comparison.

Shoulders: 13.5in.

Cuffs: 3.5in.
Hips: 23in.
