2009 Khaki/Kaki (olive greenish brown) size 44 (like a US 10 to 12) $2595

Right now my measurements are about 38" bust and 30" waist, so the Balenciaga Size Guide says 42 is my size and that one fits me in the shoulders and sleeves but doesn't zip up and I want full versatility and usability.

Here's my 44 Khaki Biker baby on me, I'm 5'4" at best:

I didn't take measurements before sending mine back. But here is my FLAWED black size 38 for reference:

It came with weird scars on the back...of course Balenciaga said it was normal, but it was not. I've sent it back

My size: 5''7, us size 4, 125 pounds, 34B chest

Weird markings on back:
