This dress is very elegant, the material is wonderful. It was indicated that the size corresponded to 38 and 40 it is 38 it's written on the label. So that's what I took very sorry but I have to make it back, I float in it. Everything is individual, but when in doubt, perhaps thinking of taking the size from below and not above. However once resized according to my forms, I'm sure to wear as it is elegant and the details are very neat.
