Pros: This dress is comfortable and chic. The stretch satin is forgiving to many body types, and looks very elegant. This dress has a classic look, which won't go out of style. The bias stitching gives the dress some visual interest. I am pear-shaped and was worried that the dress would not work over my tummy, but the stitching and stretch hide the problem area pretty well. Overall, a great, versatile LBD. Cons: This is going to be tough to dress down, because of the fabric sheen and one-shoulder. It will always be a great party/holiday/cocktail dress, and is better suited for a more dressy occasion. I am smaller up top and was surprised how fitted the top was?great for me, but I am not sure if this would be good for a girl with bigger boobs (perhaps the stretch helps out?). I tried to Dryell the dress in order to remove the post-shipping wrinkles, but it was a no-go. I also tried using an iron and steaming it with a sheet; it also was ineffective. For this reason, it is definitely a dry-clean only dress, which was a little disappointing, since Dryell is a blessing to save some $$$.
