This is probably the most flattering black dress I have ever worn. I am wearing a size large. It does have a little bit of stretch to it. I love the bodice. It really snatches the waist and I am pretty wide across. I am a 38C and it is so flattering I feel like a princess it would look beautiful with some black sandals, and it would look great with some tennis shoes like I am wearing here. I love that you can dress it up or dress it down. I have also provided alternative dresses, but this one is on sale. I also am showing a sandal that I think would look great with it.
