This is such a beautiful dress for anyone with an hourglass shape. It moves and flows beautifully and I was able to wear a regular bra, which was a plus. The top part will shape your body nicely and frame it, while the rushing allows for your waist to be defined, and the bottom part just flows. I usually wear a 10 or a 12, but they only had an 8 left and it fit. Maybe I need to rethink my size... but I think that anyone with an hourglass shape could stand to go one size down to emphasize their waistline.

The dress is unusual in its cut and the green is a beautiful deep color. You definitely need a special low cut bra if you're going to wear one at all. I would say that this dress is probably best suited for women with smaller breasts and, while beautiful, the cut of the dress might not be best for hourglass shapes.

Super comfortable dress that one can wear with a bra (I wore a black lace low-cut one). The boning gives it a perfect shape and even though it's a rather open décolletage, the dress stays put. I usually wear a 10-12 top and 8 (29-28) for pants and I thought the 10R dress fit perfectly: it was comfortable, not too lose and definitely not too tight.
