I purchased an unused item from another site, had it altered to fit, and wore it once at an event. The original size was 46, and a professional tailor took it in, but the seam allowance remains. The material shines under the lights, and a white petticoat is sewn into the skirt, giving it volume, but it spreads well and was easy to dance in. The current flat measurements are as follows: Bust: 40cm Waist: 33cm Length: 142cm
