This dress is couture at its finest. A lovely dress that made me feel beautiful. It has a lot of material to it so I chose the smaller of the two sizes that I rented. I have a small bust and it fit well. I don't believe this dress would fit a larger bust very well. I, too, experienced static at first but found the remedy in going bare legged with lotion on the legs. It does have puff around the tummy but that is part of the style. I agree if this is a problem area for you it might make you uncomfortable. I adored this dress and never wanted to take it off.

This is a beautifully detailed, high-luxury dress. Oddly, the back of the skirt is unlined, just a single layer of silk, so it was crazy staticky and I had to excuse myself to the rest room frequently to run a dryer sheet along my bum. The front f the skirt is very ruffled and layered, so it amplifies the hip, even if that's not a trouble spot for you. It's still attractive, but if it hits you too high because you have a long torso like I do, even your flat tummy will look puffy. You can't wear a bra, so expect to wear nipple covers or NuBra half-cutlets if you are concerned about coverage. This is truly a lovely dress, but just wasn't right on me.

Beautiful fabric but you must be small chested to wear this dress! Also, runs very small!
