I ended up going with the other dress that I ordered, because it was January and this dress does have a little weight to it, but was too light for winter. Would be great for autumn or a warmer climate, not for a New England winter! Even with the slit in the straps, you can easily get away with a regular bra, if you're worried, use a piece of two sided tape to hold your bra straps in place to the dress. I was thrilled to be able to wear the size 4 (my wedding dress size) after 5 years of marriage and the birth of one child! The dress is very well fitted on the top and flares right at the hips so you actually have room if you have big hips or back-side!

The dress was perfect for a January Anniversary date to the local casino! The long sleeves and weight of the dress were perfect with a pair of knee high boots to keep most of the chill off from the car to the building and even inside the casino. You can wear a strapless bra, or if you need straps just use a small piece of double-sided tape to hold your strap to the neckline of the dropped side or wear a black bra and it will look like part of the dress. The dress was nice and fitted on the top through the waist and then flairs right at the hips so if you are like me with "child-bearing hips" you can get away with a true to fit size!

The bracelets were perfect, I ended up wearing them with a suit to make it more party appropriate.

If you are like me and talk with your hands, these are perfect for you! They spiced up my look, black women's tuxedo dress pants with a nice black and silver striped shirt, from what could have been a nice day at the office to a more work Christmas party appropriate outfit.

This is not Curve Friendly! I have a 7 month old so I still have a bit of baby weight, this dress was VERY tight on my thighs but had room in the belly area making me look disproportionate. I wasn't able to wear the dress to the party.
