It's comical how unflattering this dress is when you're walking. If you're sitting in a chair, or standing, it's fine. But when you walk, it barely covers your crotch. The majority of the fabric falls to the sides of the dress, and I can stress HI LOW enough. Did I just receive a faulty product? I'm so uncomfortable wearing it in public - god forbid there be wind. Definitely wear leggings or stockings. I get compliments on it - it's beautiful - no doubt about that... Just POORLY constructed. Really wish I could alter it in some way.
