I mean, when you're built like me.

Did not pick--sales lady suggested. Thanks so much everyone! It's so fun getting immediate feedback!

I vote "no such thing as too sexy for tango!"

I think the ruching in the mid section is less than flattering.

It looks good at the bust, but doesn't flatter you below that.

The color is great, so do keep that as a goal! But, based on some of the dresses you showed and some great picks you made there, I think you can find better items in terms of cut and fit.

I'm not loving it. The ruffles say "Tango", and I like the color. But the top itself isn't flattering.

Keep looking! Your perfect tango outfit is out there, somewhere.

While I agree with Mary that there's (almost) no such thing as too sexy for tango, I don't care for the fit of this top on you. You deserve something better.

I do like the color on you, and the ruffle is definitely tango appropriate.

I'm pretty much the same shape and agree with the other comments. The bust looks just fine and even the ruching isn't bad but the ruffle on the tummy isn't flattering.

Color and ruffle suits you so well and the tango, Mochi:-). So keep them in your mind, but would suggest you rather a sligthly flowier A line top in a woven, flat fabric, say poly or silk with a bit of linning, or a cami under, in case of subtle transparency and for a bit of more structrure. I mean a top with a more fluid fit, as per Angie said. Than a super fitted (even strechy body con) pencil with a gigantic slit on the side(back or front), and some great ankle strap heels...Hm, . I think that will be deliciously tangoish AND sooo FLATTERING on you!

I am not sure Mochi. It is not the most flattering garment but it looks fun!
Loved the jackets and sweater on the other posts.

No hay problema. I didn't buy it. Still not home but will do a proper K/R later. Thanks again, all.

Just remember...in ballroom there is no such thing as over the top!

But, I think there will plenty of other choices that you will like better. A lot of my social dance clothes come from WHBM. Past seasons though...I'm not loving it this year.

Do you happen to have a Citi Trends store in your area? Lots of sexy clothes, high heels, etc., but the fun kind. Very good prices, too. I don't know how many of the styles will be cut appropriately to dance comfortably, but there are usually lots of low cut necklines, slit hems, bright colors, ruffles, etc. in stock. The fabrications can be on the cheap side (lots of that silky feeling polyester, etc.), but if you are going to sweat a lot in a Tango class, having an inexpensive but sexy outfit you can just throw in the washer and hang to dry might be an advantage.

Looks like there are 5 Citi Trend (Cititrend?) stores in Boston. If you are close to one of them, it's worth stopping in just to see if there is anything that screams "Tango" to you. It's mostly clubbing clothes, but sometimes those two genres overlap.
