Not sure of my exact measurements at the moment (a little afraid to check), but I'm 5'7", typically a US size 8 in dresses (sometimes 10 these days). 37" bust, 30" waist, 39" hips (maybe more). My hips nearly pushed me into a L in this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-sizing-drape-knit-midi#post-1639158 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 13:28:29 +0000 harmonica 1639158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm seriously considering this dress, but is very unsure about the sizing. My body type varies between apple/hourglass and hourglass/apple, dependent on weight (these days 60kg / 132 Ib 4oz). Usually I'm between S and M or European/German size 36-38. </p> <p>My height is: 157 cm / 5'2"<br />From neck/shoulders to waist (narrowest part): 38-9 cm / 15"<br />Bust: 88 cm / 34"6<br />Waist (narrowest): 81 cm / 31"9<br />Tummy (widest): 94 / 37"<br />Hips (widest) 92 cm / 36"2 </p> <p>I guess petite size S or M would be the right depending on the sizing of this dress.</p> <p>ETA: hopefully I've done the conversion right. Math was never my best subject ;-)</p>
