The measurements are sometimes accurate, but sometimes don't make sense. I've seen garments made for a bust of 33 inches and a waist of 31 inches. Hip measurements are usually not given. Shoulders are narrow.

The clothes are made in China, I believe where women aregenerally smaller. Consequently the sizes don't work for the US Market. Having said that the measurements appear to be accurate and every designer is different. Size up to be safe.

The measurements given are accurate but that does not add up to a good fit.
If you have small shoulders, smal breasts the dresses may fit. If you have a "Western European" body build the measurements don't work. The top torso is still tight and the hip and rump i. E. Skirt looks like a sack. I ordered from 2 designers and had the same problem. I get the sense that this clothing operation doesn't understand the morphometry of measurements vs sizing and fits. There are regional, demographic, ethnic differences. After my experience I would say that the clothing cuts are not suited to the western market. Sorry don't mean to be harsh. But I got 3 dresses that will not give me pleasure.

The "sizes" are not accurate at all but the measurements are. You have to go by the measurements. I wear a size 12 and I ordered an XXL something I'd never wear in American sizes. So check the measurements (the inches) and go by them.
