Not a banana yellow
I love my Trina Turk dresses, they are always very flattering. This one not so much. The color is not a vibrant banana, it's got a greenish undertone to it that's amplified just so by the sheen. The ruffles around the neck aren't stiff enough to hang properly so they flop around. The color, the sheath cut and ruffles were really unflattering from the side and aged me. The sleeves barely come in around the neck so I was constantly pushing my bra strap 2mm in towards my neck. I still wore it to dinner because I knew I was sending it back. I'd of never bought this.

Perfect for 70's glam party
It fit just right. It was loose in the plunging neckline, the slit was high enough but I never felt like my crotch was out, and the length was perfect (5'2"). It held my boobs in no problem with just the right about of inner side boob, I never felt like they were going to pop out. (That said, I wasn't dancing.) I wore silicon pasties. I have hips and don't like wearing slinky or thin materials too tight, but this was super flattering thanks to the empire waist. It's a darker metallic than the pictures show. I'd wear this to a party in a heart beat, but not sure it's appropriate for a black tie, work or high end function.

Short with boobs - this one's for you
I wear a 2 or 4. The S was enormous on me. The XS fit in the hips and stayed on my shoulders, but was short in the toosh had I been a half an inch taller my cheeks would've been coming out. Thankfully, it's heavy enough that I wasn't in a constant wedgy situation. As other reviewers mention, know that the sleeves hang on the edges of your shoulders. The wrap/cross is high enough that my boobs were never in jeopardy of coming out (I had on pasties from the dress I wore earlier in the night). I wore this while drunkenly roller skating -- I fell and flailed on more than one occasion -- with no slips. The sequins are a little scratchy but that's par for the course.
