I really like it on you! Please keep! I have the exact same fit issue with the one I bought, but it's not a deal-breaker. It just means it's a little roomy in the top, which yes, does help for bathroom breaks.

I have not worn mine out yet -- I started to wear it one day and felt a bit shy for it somehow. I'm wondering if there was a skinny mirror in the store because I felt like it emphasized my hips more in the mirror at home than what I remembered in store. I might have to post again to see if my eyes are playing tricks on me.

wow, thanks everyone for chiming in! I plan to wear it with either my black strappy heeled sandals or my pointy purple suede slingbacks for my birthday. I figure that's a great way to 'break it in' comfort wise, as you mentioned Janet. Then it should be easy from there to move to flat sandals and a cuff for easy elegance. That's what I'm telling myself. And if I'm comfortable in it at a more, em, puffy state, I should be feeling downright lithe in it a couple pounds down lol.

Late but agree with the keep!
