Only con was that the straps were a little long for my torso, so it didn't fall just right, and my cleavage was slightly risqué. However, a last minute safety pin helped, and some fancy fashion tape probably would have worked even better. Also, if I weren't 29 or my boobs were slightly larger, it probably would have looked fine even with the dipping neckline. Overall, totally fabulous, I never wanted to take it off. Put this dress on, and no matter what you do with hair, makeup, jewelry, etc., you will still be the belle of the ball. That said, rent the bracelet/cuff on the model. I waited until the last minute since I wasn't dress shopping also and I had a hard time finding good jewelry.
