How to Measure

BUST

Wrap a soft measuring tape under your arms and around the fullest part of your chest. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

Pro Tip: Keep your favorite undergarment on while you measure to get the most accurate number.

NATURAL WAIST

Stand up straight and relax your stomach, then wrap a soft measuring tape at the midway point between the bottom of your ribcage and your hip bone. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

HIP

Stand with your feet hips width distance and flat, then wrap a soft measuring tape around the widest point of your hip.

Pro Tip: Sitting down while you take this measurement ensures accuracy and provides added comfort for the best fit.

INSEAM

Use a soft measuring tape to measure from the highest point of your inner thigh to the bottom of where the pant will hit. For instance, if the inseam is 27”, you’ll measure 27” down.

Pro Tip: Measuring with shoes on lets you see the full picture and ensures your pants fall exactly where you want them.

"I have several of the longer Emmas, I find them to be highly versatile and comfortable, so I was excited to try the mini version. It didn't disappoint! The camel stripe is a nice transitional pattern that can take me through early Fall here in the South. Note that the stripe fabric is a bit thinner with a tad more stretch than the solid colors. This is the case with all my striped F&E tops, and just something to be aware of if you prefer more weight to your dress fabrics. It's a fun, versatile piece. . . would love to see it in Fall colors!"

Disappointed

"First let me say, I love Frank & Eileen products. I must have at least 15 of their items in my closet. And I loved this dress in white…. so when it became available in the white and camel stripe I jumped on it. Sadly the fabric of this color is nothing like my white one. It is very flimsy, and feels like a super soft T-Shirt. It has no body, and is not at all flattering. I did wash it in the hopes that maybe my white one had been the same and changed after a wash, but no luck. Too late to return now, and at this price point, I’m pretty sick about this purchase."

Mini Emma

"I love the style and ease this dress. I am only 5'2" 140 lbs so I brought it to a Tailor to shorten sleeves and hem. I would love to see some petite styles from Frank and Eileen."

— Janet O. (5/5)

Looked cheap

"For being an expensive dress it looked like my brothers old t-shirt. I ordered it in Cherry Red and the color had a faded out look instead of the vibrant color pictured. Definitely not worth the price,"
