I wanted to wear this dress, but my date said "va voom" when I showed him the red dress (the other rented style). This review and post is just so you can have another look at the dress. I was suprised that the color didn't work better for me. I can wear any color but nude, this just wasn't spectular. Maybe if I had a little tan to my skin. I felt the dress made my mid section look flat and skinny. The top was just right for my 34B and no bra. You cannot wear a regular stapless bra you would at least need a low back bra. I found the under lining to be a bit small and therefore it was creeping up and wrinkling. If you look hard enough in the pictures you can see it. If I owned it I would let the seam out a tiny bit and I would cut out the tan fabric sides. The tan sides blended ok. I ordered a 6R back up. At first it was hard to tell a difference but then I figured out the 4R was much better. The lining of the 6R fit better but then the hips, waist and chest were just hanging and I didn't fill out the dress. I will find an event to wear the 4R to...maybe a spring wedding. I love the technical design elements of this dress, it is just hard to find a dress with such interesting lines and cuts. Last, I love low cut braless tops so, the chest was perfect for me. My shoulders are wide and they keep the dress in place even when I bent over, but I would have still used some tape.
