This isn't the 1st time I've gotten dresses from Slinky that were not the length as stated by Jackie when presenting them, nor as stated on line. In other words NOT 38 1/2 inches, mine measure 36 inches exactly. What is up with skimping on the fabric? Same thing happened last year! Apparently there is NO QUALITY CONTROL at Slinky....OR? Oh, and dare I mention on pattern merchandise...there is no matching of pattern....in other words...done the cheapest way possible.
