At first I was hesitant to try on this dress, because on the hanger it didn't look like it would be flattering on anyone. I was completely amazed when I tried it on and loved the way it looked. It is slim fitting, but since it is black it is quite flattering as well. The fabric tie belt brings the attention to your natural waste, so it adds to the slimming effect. If you are between sizes and worried about it being too slim-fitting, you might size up. I am 5'2" and 110lbs and chose to size up from an XS to a S and am glad I did. I work in an upscale retail store and didn't think I would ever be able to wear this to work. Sure enough, paired with cute flats and a nice sweater this dress looks like an expensive designer piece...but anybody who owns icebreaker knows that it is way more practical. I wear it on my days off with flip flops and it still looks great! It is easy to toss in the washer or hand wash and hang dry, which makes it ideal for travel. Definitely a great investment!
