Perfect holiday dress

A review of Helen's Closet Reynolds Top and Dress

It’s turned out even better than I’d hoped.

The instructions recommend that you choose a size that corresponds with your upper chest measurement, as this is where the dress needs to sit close to your body. I have an upper chest measurement that is only 1 inch more than my bust, so that puts me in the B cup range. In accordance with my upper chest I chose the size 10.
Before applying the facing I tried it on. It was perfect across the bust but gaped a little under the arms. I took in the side seams by just 1cm at the top, grading to nothing at the dart.

I can also see that the darts are too high, if you were looking really hard! But this doesn’t seem to affect the fit on the chest, so I’ve got away with that.
