The dress goes up to the knee. The fabric of a synthetic fiber blend is not a bit elastic. The dress is inside completely lined and the lining is no elasticity. It is easy to iron, but you have to clean it chemically. The size 42 is rather tight at the bust, which corresponds to a German 42 and their Oberwiete. So I would recommend it to order rather larger a number, because there is not elastic, can pack anything.
The fabric is very easy to make a good case goods. The zipper at the back is long and this length is needed also, otherwise you can not get over the hips. The belt is wide leatherette and one centimeter. He is a little stubborn, but makes the dress chic. You can wear the dress without belt, but then you see the four loops and the center seam.
The dress is most appropriate rather for slim women with less bust. All in all a chic timeless dress.
