I love this dress! As a plus sized person, I don't wear body con dresses, but this looks incredible on any body! You don't need to have the confidence to wear it, the dress gives you the confidence. I think it's the black and white striping that does it. And it's SOOO soft and comfortable. All of my Weasel Wear dresses are. There's a lot of stretch in it, so it stays up well on it's own.
