I wore this for a charity gala I was working with the evening before the Kentucky Derby, and it was PERFECT for the event. Tons of compliments -- and even though bold colors are definitely worn by many, nobody was wearing anything like this! The boning is somewhat comfortable... you'll see other reviewers say that it's a little pokey/scratchy, and they're right. I wore high-waisted SPANX to combat this. That works... but BE WARNED: you CANNOT pull the SPANX down to use the bathroom once they're up and you're zipped into the dress! Make sure you have an 'exit strategy' on that one (or live with the boning poking you). The top stayed secure throughout a night of dancing -- though it was a little roomier than I expected (and I'm a 38D). Otherwise pretty comfortable, you don't feel like you need to pull it up and it will NOT move around. I am pretty large on the bottom (pear shaped) and while the fit was snug it wasn't awful. If you're a curvy woman considering this, I'd say go for it!
