Wow, this is a hot thing, I did not guess did When I was making the purchase but it is a big bonus! Although I have some additional space for comfort, there is one thing I think I should warn of - it is indeed stripe around the waist. It can not be stretched. The size 38 Means for about 76cm waist max. Consider That before buying. The producer Could as well post this specs [if theyhave not yet] to help people choose. This is a dress worth having.
