This is one of those dresses that you need to actually put on before you make a decision on it. I am a pear shape so I was sure this would look awful on me. But when i tried it on it drapped BEAUTIFULLY! the flared drapy sides are actually pockets that flow perfectly into the dress (Love pockets!) and its simply enough you can wear it a variety of ways. I wore a black aptent leather belt one day with peep toe pumps. Another day I attached a pretty gold vintage broach set with pink stones and turquoise to one side and gold earrings and nude heels; perfectly classy for my office (work in a high end recruitment firm for executives)My only gripe is I wish the quality of the stitching that finishes the sleees and hem were better. Looks a little cheap if you're too close but can't fault the price!

I really like the draping of this dress. I wore it with a black waist belt and I got so many compliments. ITs very figure flattering.
