I am in love with this dress! It's beautiful. When I first ordered it I was a little concerned about it being too short. I'm 5'7" and this hit at just 3 or so inches above my knee. I'm in the process of losing the last of my weight so I am not totally comfortable and confident in my body, but this dress is very flattering and hides the things I want to hide. It does make you look a little slimmer! This dress is pretty true to size: I ordered my size based on the measurements provided, and it fit perfectly. I feel very pretty and confident in this dress. Also, I have a slightly larger chest and sometimes with these types of dresses I feel like I am falling out, but not with this dress. I felt so comfortable and I didn't feel overexposed in the chest area. (And the dress doesn't fall down like some strapless dresses can do!) I did pair this dress with a black sequin bolero from the same company for a night at the symphony and it looks adorable and elegant:<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Plus-Size-Sexy-Black-Sequin-Bolero-Crop-Shrug/dp/B001INA508/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Plus Size Sexy Black Sequin Bolero Crop Shrug</a>&nbsp;It's the right amount of sexy (my boyfriend loves it!)
