If you're gonna wear this dress, be prepared to get complimented over and over and over. Herve Leger knows how to accent a lady's curves. As others have said, I'd agree with two things: 1. The size that fits you best is the one you need an assist to get into. I could zip the S by myself, but it bunched in weird places. I had help getting zipped into the XS, but it fit like a glove and garnished me compliments all night. 2. You do NOT need to wear a bra with this, and even pasties are optional: the gauze style kept everything in place and the fabric is thick enough I felt covered and not at all self conscious, even with 34Cs. For the record, I went completely commando underneath to minimize pantie lines -- it's that formfitting. I paired this dress with the Jules Smith gold Tri Wire Collar, which was the perfect accent piece: there was a lot of skin above the neckline, and the 3 rings broke it up in a classy way. Shoes were black peep toes from several seasons ago (ceremony) and flat black sandals (reception). I brought along a JCrew black cardigan with rhinestone buttons just in case, which also paired nicely.

This necklace was surprisingly heavy, which was nice. It also had a narrow opening, which was fine for me, but might not be ideal for someone with a little more meat on her bones. I paired it with Herve Leger's Along the Lines sheath dress because I anticipated a lot of visible skin above the neckline: the gold necklace took the look to classy in a heartbeat. A great piece.
