I said the exact same thing to my SA! There’s quite a few models with their arms behind their back too! I don’t believe for one second the models are a size 38 either. They’re probably modeling a size 38 which is why they’re having to cinch it!
I rely on measurements of models and the size they’re wearing to know what I should order. This makes it difficult.
This is true. I am a 38 and don't look like models. They are bound be approx. 5" taller, and yet the dresses I've tried are more mini on me than them.
