I chose this dress after hesitation as there is of the same style products. Very happy with my choice, the recommended size was good (44), measuring 1.58 cm, no need to hem, the delivery was made within the time specified at time of order. Beautiful fabric, decent finishes, I still do not know if I will buy a petticoat or not because the fabric is heavy and it holds up well. But without the petticoat is not "real" dress of the 50s I think it will not be my last purchase in this style, the product lives up to the description.
