This dress has really great lines, but requires some special attention to undergarments, considering the cut/fit of the top. Obviously, a regular bra doesnt work, but I also couldn't wear a strapless bandeau, as it showed on the sides and in the bottom of the V at the front. Your best bet would be to get the stick on cups or pasties, which I didnt plan for (oops). Overall, the dress runs just a little large, so you may want to consider wearing the smaller end of your fit (if you are between sizes). Especially since the waist seemed to have some extra fabric that I kept adjusting throughout the night. The material and color was really beautiful in-person (the dress is navy and the waist sash was black, which makes it work with black shoes), and the thigh-high slit was sexy without being garish. Got lots of compliments on it and it was very comfortable, which is equally/more important to me than look.

The top of this dress runs large, so consider sizing down - I am used to this given my pear-shaped figure, but I took a chance on ordering my regular dress size and it just didn't work for me. I'm not sure I could have worn a size smaller, because I needed the extra room in the hips, so may be better for a straighter figure, or just a larger bust. Also, note that the pattern didnt drape the way it's shown in the picture (curving down from the waist, creating a flattering silhouette), but instead sort of curved up, creating a "smiley face" effect around the waist with the white band - not a very flattering look. This, again, could have been because the top was loose and not sitting as high as it needed to, but that was what ultimately made me decide not to wear it.
