It's cute, but would do nothing for me. I am too curvy for that kind of dress. it depends on your shape.

even though it's so drapey on top? Why don't you think it would work on curvy?

My concern is that my boobs will look funny because they are not small...lol

I have boobs (not huge, but not small) small waist/flat stomach, and hips/thighs/asss. since my best asset is my actual shape, a dress like that would cover me up, and I'd look fat.

if you have boobs but not a big waist/hip ratio, I think it would look fine...though it would definitely make your boobs look bigger....which isn't a bad thing from the male perspective Chat Icon

do you have nice legs?

Ok, totally understood. I don't have a big waist to hip ratio... my butt isn't "big" and I think my legs are pretty nice.... not twigs, but muscular, not fat... I'm gonna give it a try. Worse case it goes back... THANKS!

If you are very thin, I think it would be great! If you have some substance, I think it would make you look bigger. It's a very tricky style.

Not really a fan. If you have big boobs if might end up making you look fat up top, because it's so blousey.

Re: What are your thoughts on this dress? I'm on the fence...

so, I showed this dress to my dh.

he hates it.

he said the following:

those dresses make women look like "i dont care what i look like but im comfortable in these scraps"

and that they are very unflattering.

it's funny how men and women have differing ideas on what looks good.

ShopBop.

I haven't ordered it yet.. I usually don't have a problem ordering anything..lol so the fact that I haven't hit "check-out" must be my sub-conscious telling me it's not for me...

I'm sure I can find something cuterand more flattering...

Thanks for the help!

I feel like the heels would be too much for this dress, grecian sandals might be best.

That said, I would hate that dress on me, my tushie would probably pull a britney spears in that thing!

I think the dress is cute, but my husband would feel the exact same way as yours does. He hates dresses like that. He also hates the babydoll and high-waisted empire dresses. Hmff, what does he know. I thought it looked soft and comfy....
