My waist:hip ratio is about 60% so I always worry about straighter-fitting skirts but this dress skimmed my curves perfectly without being clingy! Glad I ordered the 8 - the 10 swallowed me and the loops holding the back part together looked like they were on their last leg. The backless feature is a lovely surprise compared to the full-coverage front (although there is zero support, so I wouldn't recommend for super busty gals). The skirt part rises high enough in the back to cover Spanxx :)
