I love this dress. I am a very curvy (double DDs) on a five foot frame. This dress hugs every curve. I recommend a slip or spanx to make sure the curves are the ones you want shown. That said, the material is heavy and elastic. Not tight like a bandage dress. It was a pleasure to wear. I think if my rear and pooch were more toned, I'd give this five stars. If you have a shapely body - rock this.

The cut of this dress is very flattering. The fabric is cut on the bias and it loosely swirls around the body. The subtle side slit made my legs look longer - quite the trick given I am only 5 feet tall. The dress is very comfortable. The size 8 fit my bust and hips well and the cut still allowed my waist to show.

I really liked the dress quite a bit. The color is extremely flattering for olive skin. This was my second choice so I went with a medium size. It runs large, so I suspect if I had gotten the small it would have been much more flattering on me. I did not wear it to the wedding as planned, and went with the other dress - but am curious as to what the small would have looked like on.
