It's comfortable and it was flattering. The only problem is the arm openings are low cut so you either can't wear a bra or your bra shows.

It was very short and didn't have the loose fit. Tight around the bust. But I still have baby weight so perhaps this just wasn't the right time to try the dress.

This was a office holiday party for my boyfriend's company at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.
I got a size 6 and an 8 just in case. I initially worried about the straps hanging awkwardly but they laid nicely on my back which and dress zips up just above the curve of my hips so it showed the more flattering areas of my back. It was a little long on me (I'm 5'5") so on a taller girl this would be the perfect tea length which was what i was going for. However, despite the length I still loved the dress. I thought the support at the bust was great and I didn't feel any need to wear a bra which is pretty much unprecedented for me. There aren't cups or anything but the bodice is structured enough that I didn't feel self conscious at all. For a bustier woman it may not be super flattering/comfortable without support cups. It covered in glitter which I must have missed in the description so I was a little surprised so be warned there will be glitter everywhere as you try it on. Not a huge deal but nice to know up front. It also had pockets and I'm a sucker for anything with pockets because I was able to walk around the event without having to worry about carrying a clutch. I put my lipstick and mascara in one pocket and my cell phone/ID/credit card in the other and everything was very well concealed. I received a ton of compliments on the dress and I felt really confident, comfortable, pretty, and sexy. It was a great first experience overall.
