When I read your comment about not feeling 100% comfortable due to weight gain, and thinking in terms of "when I loose it", I thought to myself, No, this is wrong, you should shop for the body you have...
But then... I saw the pic!

First, first first: you have not weight to loose from where I stand, you look very, very good: sensuous, charming, lively. Your silhouette has terrific proportions, which this dress highlights very nicely. I love your hair too! What a great idea to pair this dress with the necklace you chose too. It shoes your sense of harmony.

It's a keep, absolutely.

I think it looks gorgeous and interesting. I do not see any fit issues from the pictures but of course IRL it may be different.
Trust you feelings in this dress - does it make you look fab or self-conscious? In your place I would be sorely tempted to keep it

Thank you, everybody, for your feedback. I'm almost certain it's a keeper. Tags are still on because I've learned to not take them off until the first time I actually commit to wearing something, but I do really like it, and I think it will be very useful this summer. Any self-consciousness I feel at the moment is really more due to my need to get control of my eating and get my butt moving more, not really the dress itself. I know myself well enough to know that I'm always a bit body-shy at the beginning of spring, when I have to emerge from the lovely camouflaging layers of winter.

You look stunning in this dress. It is a keeper in my opinion.

I think it looks great on you and you should keep it!

That dress is stunning on you. I picture it playing well with lots of your wardrobe items, too. Not a negative thought about it here; you look great! Welcome back.

This is stunning on you! I am always impressed by your side view and see no weight issues.

Hi Janet --

I bet you'll wear this tons; looks great on! Love the waves, too.

FWIW, I knew it would work!

Sensational on you, and love the shoe style with this dress - you have so many interesting sandals that will be great with it. I know for sure that you'll feel less fluffy very soon, after a few long spring bike rides.

I really like your hair with this amt of curl in it, but hear you about inconsistency - I have that too.

Glad you are back, we miss your stylish self when you are out west!

You look stunning Janet. Absolutely beautiful. Please keep!

It looks great on you, it is an easy outfit to put together and if it is comfortable as well, I would say that is a must keep

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Now I know I need to order it.

I think you look lovely! You've got a good asymmetrical vibe going between your hair and the shape of the dress. I love your shoes, too. I think I'm going to try to find something similar at my DSW! (Love the wavier hair, too).

This looks fabulous on you! The elastic doesn't show in the photos, and I would return it only if the elastic is digging into your waist. And even then, replacing the elastic with a longer length would be an easy fix.

You have such a beautiful figure, Janet. Perfectly proportioned, perfectly feminine. And this dress does you true justice. KEEP!
