For the size, I always take the 36 and 38 of the jacket to put a good sweater underneath. If you rely on the manufacturer size 36, she is, as specified in the material, equivalent to 38 French. Perfect size if we pay attention to this detail. The jacket is very pretty, feminine, falls perfectly, no surprises compared to the photo. However, it will ask a more developed chest than mine ... Nice to this purchase anyway!
