Closet-Child Help?

[ayameh.livejournal.com]

I'm ordering for my birthday from there, and I'm ready to pounce on this lovely MMM dress but the sizing is confusing me. It's only a small technicality.

Here it says (put through a translator and numbers divided by 2.4) that the "body width" (which I took as the waist measurement) goes up to 16.25 inches. Am I correct in guessing that this measurement was taken flat and it can be adjusted up to 32.5" around?

(This might be a stupid question... I mean, I know that Moi-meme-Moitie runs rather small but come on. O_O)

I'm excited about my first real loli item and I just don't want to make a mistake. :l This is my first time dealing with any international orders ever. (Thank god I don't have to go through a shopping service for my first, eh?)

Thank you very much for any help!

No, that is the bust measurment, the waist is 72 CM.

Is says the the bust is about 31 inches and the waist about 28 inches but that they can be adjusted by the lacing in back.

Thank you so much for helping me figure this out! ;_;

I just wish they would say by how much they could be adjusted... D'X

Sorry, but I recalculated all of those measurements and both of them were off a little bit by what you said they measured. xx; How exactly did you figure out those?

I got that the bust is 32.5 in and that the waist is 30 in, but I had to use two different methods to get those numbers. :l

It's because an inch is 2.54 cm not 2.4... :)

Ahhh, thank you. D: I had forgotten the 5... *ditz*

1 inch = 2.54 CM not 2.4

You're right, sorry about that...
