"I absolutely love this dress. very slimming and flattering, and not as short as it looks. but I have a long torso so the waist part hits me an inch and a half above my natural waist so it makes my hips look bigger and it just not as flattering. You can't even pull it down bc of the way the top is either, nor can you tie the belt lower as it looks weird w/the color change from the top to the skirt if the belt isn't where they meet. This dress definitely runs small I have a size 8 and I normally wear a 4, and its still slightly tight thru the bust (I'm a 34C). the straps also do not stay on very well, but they are long enough to have them cross in the back and I think it looks even cuter that way. Debated for a long time whether or not to keep it since its not made for my body, but I really love it so I am."
