I wore this dress to this years AF Ball and felt like a star in it! My two daughters kept telling me how I looked like a movie star! It was very cute! Here is my breakdown: My body type: After having three kids I have a bit of a lower tummy pooch that isn't too bad but can be a factor in finding dresses.I also have a pretty generous backside. The dress fit: The dress is very low cut in front and back. So if you are not comfortable with showing a little bit of skin then you may want to reconsider. If you have a fuller bust this will work but anything larger than a D cup may be tricky because the cut is such a deep v and there isn't a lot of support. I would suggest a deep v backless bra. I tried a "sticky" breast cover thing that sticks to the breast and can create minimal lift. It did not work because it was too big & could be seen. I ended up going without a bra. However, I have had inplants so I don't really 'sag' (for lack of better word). That's why I think I was able to pull it off without a bra. I did use clothing tape to tape down the inside "v" of the front to make sure the dress didn't shift in an unwanted mannor and to ensure it would lay flat when I sat down. The dress is on the long side. The only problem I had was when walking the back of my heel snagged a few times on the back of the dress. The slits on each side of the dress hit me mid thigh. It wasn't too high and you could only notice the slits when I was walking or when I wanted to sort of jut my leg out (a la angelina jolie...which I actually never did other then in the comfort of my own home! ) The cut of the dress is forgiving and comfortable. Most formal dresses I've worn in the past I need some kind of bustier or spanx but I didn't have to wear anything with this. It hid my tummy pooch well. One note, the dress fabric is somewhat sheer so be sure to wear flesh colored undergarments! I felt good the whole night! I didn't want to get out of the dress I felt so good!
