Okay, I bought killer sundresses. Unfortunately, it is hot as all get out and wearing a slip just adds to the heat. (My body is still firm enough to forego the spanx.) The boy cut alleviates the worry of panty lines and the material of the panty allows the dress to slide. The ventilation keeps me cool throughout my social activities. Just remember to buy colors that cannot be seen through the dress - it's like your mom did not teach you any manners; so have some respect for yourself regardless. The sizes seem to be perfect. It covers even my behind just as the size chart suggested.
