I purchased this dress months ago, planning to wear it to a business meeting. The color is intoxicating, and the fit is incredible. Paired with your Spanx, the hold is flattering without being constricting. The dress drapes nicely with ample fabric for the hips. It was a bit much for mine, but it works. They should offer this dress in 10 different colors, and I would buy them all! I wish I could post photos and videos here but I did on my IG page.
