Love this dress!  It is very flattering, makes a dramatic statement, and hides some of those trouble spots with dramatic flair.  If you have a tummy or junk in the trunk this dress is for you.  If you are self conscious about your legs or hips, get another dress; this dress is pretty short, and while it accentuates booty, I think if you were on te hippy side it would look off balance.  One other thing; the top portion of the dress is a little transparent under bright light so I recommend wearing with a cami underneath.
