MS FICK-JORDAAN
Well, if you are going to put elastic on the dress, that you can work at least on 10 or 15 cm, if you are going to pull it in and it becomes like a gathered dress which is, in her case, because of the wide hip measure, it probably was also to compensate for that, to find a waist that fits comfortably and it is not too tight around the hips.
	That is why this style is actually very popular with people with wide hips and with small waists, because it immediately compensates for the disparity in the two.
	I mean 15 cm is definitely, I wouldn't say is unusual to add on for this style of dress, for elasticised.  I mean at this stage, we also don't really have the full figure.  If that waist was slightly dropped in any way, it would have had to be adjusted as well.
