I am a wide hip person and for all practical peruses a drop waist should NOT look good - It was beautiful and I felt beautiful and others said it was very flattering and gorgeous on me. The deep V front did not allow for a regular bra - no need as it's so substantial and lined that I went without. The skirt has such a beautiful water-like pattern that I picked up the colors around me in photos. The pockets are not big enough to hold an extra-large phone, but plenty of room for a lipstick or smaller phone. (YES-POCKETS). I am 5ft5inches and with a 2 inch heel the dress draped the floor, it was comfortable to dance in and walk in, didn't feel like I was tripping or too tight to walk. Received many compliments, love a black bodice and the wavy iridescent colored skirt. My only "complaint" is that the dress arrived at 11pm Friday night for a Saturday night event. I tracked the package that was "out for delivery" - you have to have confidence in the system and at Christmas time my confidence was waning after it didn't arrive by 5pm. But that anxiety melted away when I opened my package. Didn't need the back-up size or dress.
