Sidewalk dress is meant to be rather tight fitting. If you wish a more relaxed fit, you can choose to knit a size one size larger than you normally would.
The dress is knit from the top down. First the front is knit flat to the bottom of the arm hole. Then pick up stitches for the back along the cast on edge. The back is knit flat to the bottom of the arm hole, where the front and back are joined. The dress is knit in the round the rest of the way. Hips are shaped by increases.
