I'm concerned it may be super tight on me - but so tempting

Not tacky, and since it sounds like it's you're style, I say super cute.

as qm said, if you have an occasion for it, the dress is super. i love how the polka dots are on trend but in an atypical location on the sleeve. great detail. i also had to look twice at the dress before falling in love with the bow at the neck.

I would have to think about the versatility of the dress but doesn't hurt to try it on.

It's one of those dresses that I may like on the rack or online but may look horrible on.

Try it on! Super cute!
It reminds me of this DVF dress, but it's even cuter than the DVF:

Hi all! I may just give this dress a whirl! We'll be going to other events with the same crowd from Saturday night. That means I won't be able to wear the other little retro number. I'm not looking for something versatile. It's got to work for this crowd.

Values at the Russian restaurant:

Good: Form fitting, short, tight, black, sparkly, glamorous, dramatic

Bad: Anything that could be worn without irony in daylight

Ha ha, Rita, love your definition of "bad"! Sounds fun to dress up for this crowd.

I LOVE the dress! I don't find it over the top at all; it's gorgeous! Hope it fits!

Natalie! That dress is so cute! I would think about this one, but honestly it's more like for a day party with this crowd.

must get this dress...it has a great seaming on the thigh that i noticed only on the runway view.

eta: similar shape to your very au courant dress.

Adorable! But if it isn't lined, it could tend toward lumpy - even on the model there seems to be a bit of puckering around her middle. Perhaps a good slip is all you need though.

Wow I didn't realize it's a Pucci copycat... I think I like this one better. Mo, I know I would have to be girdled out to wear this dress, I'm ok with that for formal wear.
