I wore this for my bachelorette party during the day as a skirt, and during the evening as a dress with a lace top over it.  It was perfect during the day.  In the evening, I really wished it had some straps as the waistline/bustline was loose enough knit that the dress had trouble staying up even on my ample bust.  I plan to make some snap on straps for it so I won't have that problem the next time I choose to wear it as a dress.  In the meantime, it will make a very comfortable skirt.
