I like the dress but I prefer long sleeves. Maybe look good with V-neck style as well for showing off necklaces. I prefer classic knee-length. Just right below the knee covering it because that brings out (complements) nice legs. showing knees is tasteless and does not look classy to me. Showing lots thigh does not look right either. I have wide hips and not so busty, so I need the right dress for myself (evening or cocktail dress). My wide hips need a very curvy evening dress that tapers even more on my sides. I am unsure about the comfort and right fit. A good dress is when a woman can move in it comfortably and it does not gather up in a funny way, nor is it binding and the arms can be moved and the sleeves will nit get out of place or feel pulled at and make the armpit area not feel right.
