Pros: I'm a little overweight at the moment and this dress was perfect at concealing the extra pounds. I've never had a tiny waist but the cut of the dress made me look like I finally had a nipped in waistline, yay! I was in the dress for about 12 hours and it was extremely comfortable (i.e., no pinching, digging, slipping, etc.). Cons: I really don't have any negatives except that because of the scooped out neckline, this dress probably works best for women with somewhat broad shoulders and/or a full bust. I'm a 34C and have fairly broad shoulders so the sleeves stayed put, but it was hard to raise my arms over my shoulders on the dance floor. A very small price to pay for such a fabulous dress. Suggestions: I highly recommend wearing a chunky/flashy necklace with this dress, which fits with its 50s/retro vibe.I rented the "On The Town" necklace, which was perfect and garnered lots of compliments. I added my own belt to further define my waist and finish the look. Overall, I loved the dress and would happily rent it again for another fancy daytime event!
