My figure is quite lopsided - size 22 on top and size 16 on the bottom... I usually am forced to buy for my bust size when purchasing dresses and it leaves me looking/feeling fat even if I add belt to gather in all the extra fabric below, or if I try on something closer to my waist size, my cleavage come flying out at the wrong time.. It is VERY rare I find a dress that flatters my shape and still corrals my breasts in an attractive manner.This dress does it. I bought it to attend a memorial service and it was totally appropriate for the occasion. I moved and bent and socialized all day without any bunching or readjustments or discomfort. The neckline looks nice on me, interesting and yet classic. I wore a simple strand of pearls and they were framed perfectly, this dress will easy to dress up or down with different jewelry... The sleeve length is nice too. I felt like I looked great all day long and never once worried about my appearance... Better yet, I looked shapely and beautiful in all the family photos.Now for the best news... I am sure this dress runs just a little large. It's drapey and stretchy enough to hug the curves in a pleasing way. I would have been better off with one size smaller, but even then, since this is a true wrap dress, it fit me fine and I was able to cinch it up to make my waist well defined even though it was a little big. This dress travels in the suitcase very nicely too, no wrinkles or fold creases at all. I do plan to wear this dress quite a bit as my "little black dress" over the upcoming holidays. It looks great on me.Bottom line is that I do think it's a little overpriced for what it is and what it's made of. If I had seen it in a store I may have thought twice about buying it, but since I was in a hurry, didn't have time to shop and needed a quick dress delivered overnight, I suppose it was worth that convenience... I'll still wear it plenty of times in the future
