Im 59, 195 lbs, and I have some serious pones/saddlebags that never look good in knit or form-fitting clothes. I knew this when I ordered this dress. BUT CARDIGANS!!! I love longer length cardigans to cover these lady lumps. Cardigans open up a whole new world of clothing for those of us who have a few extra curves we wants to smooth out. Also, even though my fanny and thighs don't look great as-is in this dress, the pattern and diagonals at the tummy are very flattering.
