I wore this dress to a "black tie preferred" (whatever that means) event. I was hesitant to wear black because I usually opt for flashier ensembles, but I didn't know anyone there, so I played it safe...but not too safe! This dress has a little something extra with the asymmetrical hem and cut out in the back (which I think is a koi fish?). I tried on my usual size 8, but, like other reviewers have mentioned, the 6 fit better, thanks to the free hip measurement. Where previous reviewers led me astray, though, was in the undergarment department: I definitely needed a bra for this look. The fabric is thick and certainly not see-through, but there just wasn't enough boob squishage to make me feel comfortable going without one. I ended up wearing one of those stick-on bras with the clear sides and it worked perfectly. And speaking of undergarments, I was worried that the top of my high-waisted chonies would peek out the bottom of the back cutout, but they were fine. I felt comfortable and fabulous all night!
