This pattern is written for 9 different sizes (traditionally XS-5XL in the US), but it includes instructions on how to adjust it to other sizes. These sizes have been tested by crocheters of all levels; this pattern is best suited for advanced beginners.

The pattern is written in English using US terminology. It includes step-by-step instructions and images, including instructions to make the shorts to your specific measurements.

Materials:
5mm crochet hook
1142-2695 total yds [1044-2465 m] of aran/worsted/size 4 yarn (depends on size)
Scissors
Stitch markers
Tapestry needle

I've used Lion Brand's Pima Cotton and Paintbox Cotton to make this dress. I recommend a similar cotton for your own project.
