You might be tempted to blend between sizes to create more shaping, but for garments with a straight cut, trying to blend can change the design and the overall fit. Instead, select the largest size you’ll need, make a muslin, and see if you need to pinch out any areas to improve the fit.
Parker features our gender-expansive fit, meaning it was developed and fit on both male and female bodies. It has generous ease, as it’s intended to be slightly oversized so you move comfortably. Pay attention to the sleeve and body length, and add or remove length as necessary.
You can adjust the length of the sleeves and bodice to suit your preference.
