I really love this dress but i am still struggling with keeping it or not. i have an hour glass figure with a somewhat fullish behind :). it is tight around that area which i think it is meant to be but i am not sure how comfortable i am with that. i wasn't sure about the belt but it really works. i am 5"3 and weigh 118. i did have to size up from 2p to 4 p for it not to feel too tight in all areas.
