This dress was really tasteful yet sexy.Also it is much more impressive in person than it looks in the stock photo on the website. It has a lot of stretch and is super comfy. I wore spanx but they are not necessary as the ruching is brilliant at diverting the eyes from any unsightly areas. I could have gone with the eight as it accommodated my boobage a bit better but I liked how the 6 hugged my figure. I love the length because it balances out the strapless top and cleavage. This dress comes with little padding inserts in the chest area and is also sturdy if you dare to go bra-less. It is a beautiful navy and has a sheen to the fabric that really catches the eye. It is the fabric that makes this dress. Overall I loved this dress!!
