The Greenbrier Dress is the definition of ease. Ease in sewing, in wearing, and in styling.

The Greenbrier Dress provides a beautiful canvas for color blocking, patchwork, or even embroidery. With positive ease built in, Greenbrier is straightforward to fit, easy to adjust, and lends itself to all kinds of creative hacking, styling, and play.

Finished Measurements for the Greenbrier Dress
Shoulder breadth is an important factor, since the Dress is easy fitting but has a neck edge that you want to sit nicely. If you are in between sizes, let your shoulder proportion help you decide which way to go.
For example, if your size is somewhere between a 4 and a 6 in circumference measurements, but you have narrow shoulders, choose the 4.
