The dress fits every curve you have or don’t have. The color was as shown, the material is thick and assists with hiding lumps and bumps. Don’t recommend wearing spanx underneath, not necessary constricting already. The dress holds you in fairly well. The chest area might be tricky because of the placement of the bra like fixture to your breast. It’s snug as mentioned, but it’s suppose to be. The picture does not do justice, should be worn with sexy shoes not boots (it was cold). I’m 5’3 and 165 lbs and bought a large.This dress is absolutely beautiful but if you have a short torso its not as flattering. It tends to bunch up under your stomach making it look like you have a pouch. The dress also kind of rises a bit when you walk. I have about 12 bandage dresses so I'm use to the tight fit, I normally order a size medium.... as i did with this dress. When I tried it on, I can definitely say it had a lot more stretch than what I'm use to. I could have gotten a small. I am 5'1, have an athletic curvy frame. 34DD chest, flat stomach... a bit of hips. I love bandage dresses but this just wasn't flattering.I guess sometimes you really do get what you pay for. I was really hoping for the best. This is a Great looking/fitting dress, but it’s Poorly made. First of all, let me say that the dress/ material itself is stunning! It fit like I expected, maybe a bit better. However, many of the outer seams are NOT stitched down, and that definitely takes away from the dress. It also has some strange ‘ink’ looking marks on it, at the waistline (maybe where the fabric pattern was, I dunno)... The area near where the GIGANTIC hole is. I’m just glad that I didn’t want to wear it for an upcoming event. I would not be able to do so... I will say, If it weren’t for the hole, I would probably just have taken it to my seamstress, because it IS SO STUNNING! Oh well. Needless to say, I will have to return it. I'm hoping that I can find a replacement for it, but I may need to spend a few more dollars. We’ll see.This dress is amazing!! Wore it for my birthday recent and got a small, it fitted my body really really well and people couldn’t believe I got it from amazon! It great material and definitely comparable to house of cbThe dress is pretty but the size chart is NOT ACCURATE!! DO NOT FOLLOW SIZE CHART... I waited for this dress to be wear at an event we are having next week and it does not fit as I expected!, it's like 2 sizes big!I ordered a size L because according to the size chart what would be my size and I was afraid it was going to be to small if I ordered my regular size which is M! Surprise!!got it and it fits like a XL!!Muy grande!! No te bases en la tabla de medidas! Encarga tu talla regular o una mas pequeña a la regular! Tiene muchisimo stretch y viene muy amlo el vestido! :(This was an amazing dress for the price. I have a Herve Leger Bandage dress and the quality was comparable. It is a heavy material and hides body flaws, no need for spanx or control garments. The dress really accentuates a curvy figureLoved the dress, thick material. However the product was defective and the entire back zipper broke and I was unable to wear.This dress is a showstopper! No complaints. Accentuates a smaller waist
