I felt very elegant in this dress! I was looking for something that would be on the more conservative side without being frumpy, and I definitely found it (although it did show more cleavage on me than on the model). The fabric was a beautiful color, a little brighter than the photo but still appropriate for a winter event. I liked how it was very structured at the top but with a flowy skirt. Don't plan on dancing (or driving), as the straps don't allow much range of arm motion.As others have mentioned, the fit is true to size in the waist but you might want to size up if you have a larger bust. I ended up wearing the 4 but it was a close call and barely zipped at the top. The 6 would have been much less constricting but I also though it didn't define my waist as nicely. I didn't find that the "support' in the dress did much for me -- both sizes flattened my chest so I wore a strapless bra. The dress was also extremely long on me -- it was still all over the floor even with 5 inch heels.
