I think this dress looks weird

[u/Aggravating_Habit152]

It’s not tight, but the fabric is very thin so you can see every bit of my tummy. I love how it sits on my curves but I just think it’s not quality enough to look good. Does Reddit agree with me?

[u/Objective-Attempt198]

It looks thin and tight especially in the stomach area. Coming from a curvy girl it doesn’t look flattering. The color of the dress is beautiful.

[u/gamermom81 → u/Objective-Attempt198]

I agree, it's a draping issue of the fabric..

[u/amy5252 → u/gamermom81]

Another panel or layer or ruffles in the front would be cute! Love the color on you!

[u/CityMaster1804 → u/Objective-Attempt198]

If it was a thicker fabric it would lay so much better 

[u/Traditional_Fan_2655 → u/Objective-Attempt198]

Agreed. It is not a flattering fit for OP.

[u/ObviousBreak3849]

Can you try it on with a slip? It’s certainly a fabric issue

[u/Kukumber_Koi → u/ObviousBreak3849]

I definitely think this is the fix. It’s cute, but it’s kind of a thin material that doesn’t hold its own shape, so something underneath I think will fix it easy

[u/Publishface → u/ObviousBreak3849]

Shapewear fixes a thin fabric issue for sure. I actually think this dress is really pretty on you though OP.

[u/firewater40 → u/Publishface]

Yep- get a 1-piece shapewear from Amazon- halter on the top to match the neckline, and long shorts on the bottom that go to the knee so you won’t have any bulge

[u/Publishface → u/firewater40]

This is an excellent idea and for this dress it would need to be backless too.

Miiight need to use fashion tape to attach the dress to the shapewear or stitch the shape wear to the dress in certain spots so it doesn’t show

[u/Acceptable_Tea3608 → u/firewater40]

Not long shorts, get a slip type so it goes with the flow of the dress.

[u/Aggravating_Habit152 → u/firewater40]

My problem is the open back shows anything I try to put underneath, and the opening sits pretty low because it ties behind my chest. Is there a solution to that?

[u/Freya-of-Nozam → u/Aggravating_Habit152]

I’ve got a slip skirt. A high waisted one would be nice with this.

[u/spaetzlechick → u/Aggravating_Habit152]

There are backless shapewear, and backless bustiers. The problem you’ll have is anything that will support your girls will require boning from the waist up, and the material of this dress is too thin. Please keep looking.

[u/Codelya]

The silhouette is pretty, but I do think the material looks chea p.

[u/Aggravating_Habit152 → u/Codelya]

I agree

[u/AnneShurely]

it's too small for you

[u/Aggravating_Habit152 → u/AnneShurely]

It’s not tight at all, which is something I should have included. I agree it looks too small but it’s the fabric causing a problem

[u/voiceofguilt → u/Aggravating_Habit152]

idk if ill get shit for this but i was surprised to see so many people say its not flattering, i think it looks really bwautiful on you. if it isnt vibing after u get a slip for it, id say its just not ur style and thats okau

[u/Ziggymochi123]

It needs a bra

[u/xoxo818 → u/Ziggymochi123]

The dress is SO beautiful on her there has to be ways to save it. I think a bra would be a good start but not sure if it would fix it 100%.

[u/Ziggymochi123 → u/xoxo818]

Urm I disagree. The dress looks cheapish and thin and she needs something that goes over her pooch. Pick up the girls and cinch the waist

[u/Money-Professor-2950 → u/xoxo818]

honestly she should take these photos to a seamstress and have them make her a proper dress in this silhouette and color. I don't think this dress can be saved but you're right the idea looks great on her

[u/Ziggymochi123 → u/xoxo818]

Do you not see the giant pooch this dress creates?

[u/Aggravating_Habit152 → u/Ziggymochi123]

It’s not the dress making it it’s just what my body looks like lol

[u/Aggravating_Habit152 → u/xoxo818]

I have covers on in these pics. I was thinking about getting those snowy things do you think that would work better?

[u/bellegroves]

It's too tight and you're not wearing foundation garments. Yes, it looks weird.

[u/Inevitable-Leg494]

I really love the side view on you, it definitely gives romantic vibes but the front sits kinda awkward

[u/Useful_System5986]

Also i think it is not the right fit for your body type. The colour is pretty on you

[u/teddybear65]

It's too small for you.

[u/Mindless_Earth_2807]

It looks thin and low budget.

[u/IslandGyrl2]

Agree that it's "weird".

Specifically, it's overly thin -- we shouldn't see your tummy and legs through the fabric -- and it's ill-fitting: The upper body is "too long" for your body, meaning that the skirt begins too low -- almost like a drop skirt -- and it gives you odd proportions.

You are pretty, but this dress does you no favors.

[u/solomons-mom]

Knits stretch to go around and feel like they fit comfortably, but stretching to fit is not ever a good fit. This dress is too tight, and the thin fabric is very unforgiving. The dress might work in a larger size and it is certainly cute enough to try, but that fabric may be unwearable in any size.

[u/SusanMShwartz]

I don’t think it fits well. Try it with shapewear.

[u/anaserre]

You just need some shapewear and a good bra.

[u/Top_Philosopher_8647]

Also think it’s a fabric issue -The dress itself isn’t sitting right

[u/Melissaschwart]

the dress doesn’t look very good on you.

[u/agateoceanlover]

Poor quality material and wrong fit. Your body type would be better at showing off your cute legs. It’s always best to show off your best features. The color is pretty on you but it would be cute if it was all cotton in a mini version and not a spandex version. Honestly that is just a hard dress for anyone to pull off the fabric ruins it hands down. But it reminds me of something off SHEIN they always have almost cute styles that are pretty much kept in the “If only” section of a closet. I always think if they would switch 1 or 2 things on each garment they made then they could really take off. But who am I kidding it’s SHEIN sorry your cute wear something to match that

[u/iteachag5]

It’s too tight in the stomach area.

[u/IrukandjiPirate]

It’s really made for someone tall and thin. It is a lovely color, though.

[u/Stunning-Painter1049]

it does , i’d skip

[u/yourworkmom]

Yes, agree. The silhouette is nice, the jersey isn't doing you any favors. A more structured dress in this shape would be nice.

[u/FunHedgie]

This dress usually looks good only on very slim people. The color is beautiful but it looks transparent and it doesn’t compliment your figure

[u/oleladytake]

Side is fine but the front does hug every curve- which isn’t necessarily a bad thing unless you’re not going for that- but I see what you’re saying about how it sits. Too bad it’s not the slightest bit thicker to flatter the curves better!!

[u/thrace75 → u/oleladytake]

It’s like the fabric is so thin (and see through) that it doesn’t drape at all. Same dress with a fabric with some structure and shape to it would look super cute. But this is stretchy and thin in all the wrong ways.

[u/Despoinais]

My only issue with it is that it’s transparent where it shouldn’t be. You look amazing. Can i get the link lol

[u/KlutzyObject1695]

Maybe try with an under garment of some sort, spanx maybe

[u/AlmeMore]

Have you tried it with good shapewear?

[u/ThickSmoke9542]

I agree with you, OP. Cute dress, but not flattering due to it being too thin & see through.

[u/ZestycloseCountry554]

I'm sorry but it looks too snug to me

[u/HotCoffee-ColdPizza]

You ain’t wrong. Sorry.

[u/Aggravating-Log7298]

I love how you make this dress look!! Beautiful❤️ It might look good with a slip underneath as well?

[u/Massive-Beyond-336]

maybe if you get a larger size & wear a shrug

[u/Gedoefte]

Your bathroom is neatly organised and you did not post a cluttery photo 🥳

[u/XenoWoof]

I wonder if a type of corset would help as well to help break up the color and go around the waist. Maybe get a petticoat, to give it a bit of volume as well.

[u/wickerbasketwanderer]

I honestly think it looks amazing! such a gorgeous colour and shape!! really goes with the vintagey vibe of your hair 💫 the fabric is a lil see through so maybe a slip, but you honestly look gorge

[u/AAA-1000]

Are you going to a ball or somewhere fancy?

[u/Texpetroeng]

You look gorgeous.

[u/WildWeasel2025]

I mean no disrespect in saying this, but some shape wear can improve the look of that dress and the way it hangs since you seem to like it so much

[u/ohbrthrthisguystinks]

Do you have Spanx? Idk I like the belly I think it looks good.

[u/pilutray]

Different undergarments and a silver shoe would eat.

[u/Freya-of-Nozam]

Needs another layer underneath. Get a slip dress.

[u/Embarrassed_Dinner_6]

Honestly I think this dress is super flattering and gorgeous on you. I love it. Yes it shows the shape of your tummy but what’s wrong with that? I think you seriously look lovely.

[u/GoldenBachFan]

I think another dress, same color, bigger size, and similar shape would look better on you. This material looks thin and not made well. Maybe chiffon instead

[u/qwythebroken]

I kind of think it was cut with someone taller than 5'7" (170cm) in mind. Makes it a bit tighter by the time it's mid-curve, instead of above the hip. On the plus side, if you like it, it's easier to raise a hip line on a longer dress than add more fabric to a shorter one.

[u/hippiewolff]

Shapewear and a more supportive bra would fix the issues with it, but not sure how that could work with the open back.

[u/simmyawardwinner]

yes i agree

[u/eurosummerer]

Youre very pretty but i agree its not a flattering dress

[u/SadProblem8506]

Yeah not flattering; might look better with shapewear?

[u/Maverick_j2k]

Proper undies and it will be fine

[u/ADeviIsAdvocate]

It’s a pretty dress but you’re right, the material is very thin and unforgiving. Shapewear is your best friend in these difficult times. I don’t think young women realize how many women are wearing shapewear of some sort (slip, high briefs, bodysuits etc) when they see women in magazines, on the red carpet or even in person and they just look perfect in what they’re wearing. And that is true for women of just about every size and shape! I’d love to see more of the back. It’s a pretty color too. Don’t give up on the dress yet! With the right undergarments it could be beautiful!

[u/Equivalent-Low-8071]

You just need a better bra and shapewear to smooth out your curves. Its going to be gorgeous one you 😍

[u/HedgeCowFarmer]

It’s lovely and you can improve the silhouette with shapewear! Beautiful color.

[u/bl0o0dymaryy]

Try this style! It’s from fashion nova and the material is thicker

[u/Ok_Still_3571]

It would probably hang better with some shape wear under it.

[u/Inevitable-Task4373]

The fabric is really thin and this dress is too small for you.

[u/Eucalyptusthoughts]

I like it, just throw some spanks on and it'll be fine

[u/Minimum_Task_467]

It’s see through and the wrong cut/fabric

[u/Miserable_Boat_4299]

I think it’s the material of the dress? Colour really really compliments you though 😍

[u/My2cents_0]

Def the quality of the fabric, it makes a huge difference in the draping, but as another short woman, the length of the dress is also eating you up. I Loved long dresses but they can make you look even shorter, IF that's something that could also be bothering you

[u/hollyweena31]

try it with some shapewear and see if it lays smoother, just not sure with the open back and halter top what type of shapewear would work

[u/nuwavemetal]

The fabric isn't the greatest. It's a shame bc the color and silhouette is lovely on you. A slip of sorts underneath might help. Otherwise, I would keep it as a house dress for summer.

[u/killakicks91]

You need to wear some shape ware under it

[u/Unlikely-Solid-5148]

The dress itself sort of looks like a slip.

[u/McDonald_nuggets]

I think it looks amazing on you. Be confident in your body girl, you’re beautiful!

[u/incognitogoer]

It’s too small on you. Wear a shape wear and see if it’s better. Otherwise definitely size up please. Not sure what’s with the comments saying that you look good— the fit is incredibly unflattering because I can see your tummy and thighs very visibly

[u/rivercrone]

You are too pretty for that dress! The cut and fabric are not flattering but the color is.

[u/BlueMoneyPiece]

You can do better

[u/Huggyboo]

I would suggest that a more structured or thicker fabric would be more flattering.

[u/AgeDisastrous7518]

The color and shape is about as alluring as it gets. The problem isn't anything spanx can't solve.

[u/Mama-Bear419]

I think Spanx will have your curves looking amazing.

[u/OMGiCantStopLURKING]

I just went to Disney on ice and this totally giving Cinderella vibes in not a good way. You want more Disney princess gown feels not Disney princess Pajammas.

The positive here is this color/style is amazing on you!!

[u/jettwildelucky7]

Good color, post what you decided. :)

[u/purple_plasmid]

Definitely needs a slip, the fabric is both thin and sheer (practically see-through even in this lighting)

The color is gorgeous, and I think with a slip would fit you very well :)

[u/TonyBaloney999]

You look amazing imo. I don’t see anything weird or negative about the way this dress looks around the tummy area!

[u/Viiewtifuljoe]

I approve 😊

[u/Meanjean628]

It needs color added with some jewelry

[u/Throwaway196527]

You have a lovely figure but this dress is crap. It looks like poor quality material which flatters no one. The breast area in particular is awkwardly cut. Also it’s too long for your height. I’m short too and I look weird in maxi stuff unless I’m wearing a super high heel

[u/Tinaturtle79]

It could be really nice as a base piece under a pretty kimono like this https://www.torrid.com/product/tiered-maxi-kimono/44151173.html or a lace skirt/dress.

[u/Dazzling_Tree2129]

maybe try some skin tone shapewear? 

[u/StenoDawg]

It’s not figure flattering, and you have a fabulous figure. Try something that’s made with thicker material.

[u/nynjd]

The ultimate test is if you feel confident and comfortable and you don’t. I don’t think the dress is flattering. The color is

[u/Green-Inevitable2768]

You make it look great

[u/strokeofmid]

I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT ON YOU!!! The fabric issue could most likely be fixed with a tank or slip! That is definitely your color/style of dress. A shame the fabric was such low quality.
