Hello,
I ordered a Versace suit from Yoox.com recently, I am 5ft8 and half, and I wear size 36 short which usually comes with size 30 pants.
According to many websites as well as Yoox, Italian size 46 is the same as size 36 so I bought the suit. After it arrived the shoulder was way too big, I felt like its just as wide as a US size 38 jacket I have (which is too big). I took it to a tailor and found out that the suit pretty much needed open heart surgery to fit me, so I ended up returning it.
My question is, does Italian Size 46 translate perfectly to US size 36? Is it a case where Versace just makes their suits big, or should I be ordering Italian size 44 in the future for other Italian brands?
thanks,
