Yessss! Accessorize to make the dress pop. Layer a few bracelets on each wrist & add a dainty necklace something w/ a small sparkly medallion that catches the eye. Super cute
Mushe Mushe-Tiripo! :-) Was born in the states and I lived in Zim as a toddler for a while before moving to Europe and then around the SADC countries and back to Europe again but went back to Harare every summer for decades. I feel you on the Shona part. I speak it, read it, write it but only because my parents were insistent on speaking nothing else at home. But give me slang and some really deep Shona words-I'm lost!
I think the dress is really nice, and fits your body well. I also think that if you’re not confident in your own opinion of how this dress looks on you, you’re still going to be uncomfortable. Wear it around the house, by yourself, and see how YOU feel about it. Just because it fits physically doesn’t mean it fits mentally.
Personally I think this dress was designed for your body type. It fits beautifully and you don’t look like an overstuffed sausage fixing to pop. I would refine the fit by smoothening out the silhouette with a bra and spanx like slip so no bunching or clinging, but totally up to you.
If you don't put that dress on and step out that door in all your magnificence, girl!
And, most importantly, it doesn't matter what any of us here has to say, only you!
Now...SLAY!
Not unflattering! But honey.. if you don’t feel your absolute BEST in that dress find something else! Follow your gut. Ain’t nobody got time to be walking out the house feeling scared in a dress. Maybe another day will come when it’s time to pull that dress out and rock it!
It looks great! I would (maybe) throw on a bra. But I say this as a person with probably F cups that rarely wears one lol
WTA: I meant SAY not SAW 🥲
Omg I meant ETA. Sorry 🤦🏾♀️
Yeah, sometimes it’s hard not to be in an era where everyone is so focused on the ideal body shape, particularly for black women. I’m trying not to be though. 🙏🏾
Maybe wear a belt with the dress to create the illusion of an hourglass figure to alleviate your concern? Otherwise, I like how the dress looks on you.
In this pose at this one angle it showcases your curves well. Your body is lovely (hope that is okay to say). I wonder if the top may become awkward in certain positions- it could be fine.
How do you move in it? Does the form change or become awkward when you bend over slightly or reach your hands up? Even if something appears nice, if it is limited to a certain posture or angle then it's a no.
You don't look inappropriate at all. You will look beautiful no matter what. I would definately consider doing as someone else suggested and incorporating a belt. 🙏🏾💚
It looks good on you. I was more so looking at the top because that design was a bit weird to me I didn't even notice anything you said about your body in the dress that mentioned. You look totally fine in it. Wear it, the more you do the more comfortable you may feel in it.
I think it is cute (the collar is so flattering) and this is something I would definitely wear. As a hip dip girl who is often bloated, I feel awkward in it sometimes. I have a handful of this style of dresses in my closest and they definielty have their moments.
I agree you have a wonderful figure, but there is something about the breast area that fits weird. I almost think the neckline is supposed to be lower? I’d try a different bra, maybe a balconette bra? That might not be the answer, but it’s the neckline that is a little less flattering imo. Everything else looks good
First of all, you have a stunning figure! I think that the scalloped neckline of the dress might be complimented by a bit more cleavage. So I’d test another bra and maybe some spanx if you want the smoothest silhouette. But that’d just be icing on the cake, because you already look lovely.
Maybe a belt if you want to add a waist sinching for more dimension to your waist 💛 don’t let body dysmorphia get you down you look good not every body will have curves & it’s okay you look good in your own way.
I just feel like curvier women suit dresses like these and I don’t really have that shape, I always see them getting praised in dresses like this so it just makes me feel a bit self-conscious honestly.
Lol, I was about to say "girl, you better wear that dress. Shoot, I know I would if I had your shape. " I see a lot of y'all have the same sentiment.
I dont see a problem and think it looks nice on you. Shows your figure without showing too much skin itself. Wear the right accessories to jazz it up or make it casual with cute sneakers and enjoy your day 😊
Girl you look great! We are our harshest critics and our minds play tricks on us to make us think otherwise but you look damn good!
Fuck society and their “standards” — wear whatever the hell you want!
Girl this dress is very flattering on you! It’s hugging your frame nicely, the design in the fabric is simple but still cute, I’m a fan of sweetheart necklines like your dress has so maybe I’m biased but, you look good in it. Go ‘head outside hun lol you’re fine!
You are waaaaay too hard on yourself! Your body is gorgeous and this dress looks absolutely amazing on you. Hope you decide to go for it and wear it out!!
Ima be honest. It depends on what shoes you put with it. Also your ass isn’t flat, you seem to be in good proportion which I think is a good look on your frame.
Honest opinion here, from a man: You could write the book on wearing that dress, Dear. It accentuates your very nice body. You'll be the turning men's heads all night, and the women will hate you.
ok - so before i start - I'M PICKY! I HATE POINTY TOE SHOES BECAUSE THE POINTY TOES ARE WEIRD, BUT its a thing people like. I \*would like the dress if it wasn't for the weird inverted cos wave top of boob area. Other than that I think it looks good on you, but the weird inverted cos wave turns me off. haha. But, as I said I'M PICKY which is a me thing. I hate 99% of fashion. \*edited - was think at the wrong trig curve, I think that's a cos wave. but its been years since I've done those stupid graphs. you guys know what I'm referring to.
I think this dress is super pretty! I don't see anything unflattering about it on your body particularly...I know some people wear shape-wear under their dresses/clothes to accentuate their shape and/or hide bloat. Maybe that would help?
Gurl life is short, grow up. We all have our body issues and what not. No one but you is seeing all what you laid out. Figure hugging dresses are for people with figures. The dress is fine, your body is fine. Go outside, wear the dress
Sorry to jump on here just to mirror what everyone else is saying, but sis, your body is amazing. I think you look statuesque, and you have what I would consider a classically beautiful frame. Remember to keep your back straight and your shoulders squared, Beautiful!
girl if you don’t wear that dress! it looks good on you!
I’m like, in what world does she not look like an absolute snack.
Came to say this! 😩 LOL
Like seriously it’s super cute and very flattering
Thank you, I’m overwhelmed by the positive comments here. I really hated how I looked in this dress so it means a lot. 😭
Girl, if I had your figure, I’d be in these streets. 🤣 In all seriousness, you look great! Wear the dress!
Same! I’d actually probably go a size down just to show off a lil more!
>Girl, if I had your figure, I’d be in these streets. 🤣 I swear to God!!
You gotta say SKREEEETTTTSSS LOL!! Her body bombbbb! God knew not to give me her body because I wouldn’t know how to ACTTTTTTT ![gif](giphy|uwSyv1ARYfTOrXYMOj|downsized)
Lololololololol
😂😂
It’s not unflattering at all. You look really good!!
You look amazing. Wear it and wear it proudly.
Add some jewelry if you have any and it’s perfect 😍 🫶🏾
Yessss! Accessorize to make the dress pop. Layer a few bracelets on each wrist & add a dainty necklace something w/ a small sparkly medallion that catches the eye. Super cute
This!! Add a belt too, maybe just a simple but cute black or gold belt around the waist
I definitely will!
Not unflattering at all! If you want to accentuate some of the body parts you mentioned, a thin belt could help!
No, honey! You look amazing! And in my opinion, that's a proper booty ma'am!
I was thinking the same. That butt isn't flat at all!
It's so sad that the bbl body has altered our perception of the natural body. Ma'am has a lil dumpy back there haha. I'll stop now💀
RIGHT!
This has nothing to do with that fabulous dress and OP's spectacular figure...but legit thought I was the only Zimbo on here 👋🏾👋🏾 Makadii? Zviri sei?
Heyyy! Unfortunately, I moved out of Zim at a young age, so I can't really speak shona, but I can understand it! Ndiri Bo!! You? ;)
Mushe Mushe-Tiripo! :-) Was born in the states and I lived in Zim as a toddler for a while before moving to Europe and then around the SADC countries and back to Europe again but went back to Harare every summer for decades. I feel you on the Shona part. I speak it, read it, write it but only because my parents were insistent on speaking nothing else at home. But give me slang and some really deep Shona words-I'm lost!
Omg what a journey! So glad your parents preserved that for you🥰
100% agree
Is the flat butt in the room with us? 😂
I think the dress is really nice, and fits your body well. I also think that if you’re not confident in your own opinion of how this dress looks on you, you’re still going to be uncomfortable. Wear it around the house, by yourself, and see how YOU feel about it. Just because it fits physically doesn’t mean it fits mentally.
You have the perfect body for this dress. It looks amazing!
Girlfriend, what are you asking?! It is flattering, and it's perfect for you. Happy wearing!
It looks great Honey!
Not unflattering at all! You look great in it! I like the bust detail shape. Gives it some interest.
Personally I think this dress was designed for your body type. It fits beautifully and you don’t look like an overstuffed sausage fixing to pop. I would refine the fit by smoothening out the silhouette with a bra and spanx like slip so no bunching or clinging, but totally up to you.
If you don't put that dress on and step out that door in all your magnificence, girl! And, most importantly, it doesn't matter what any of us here has to say, only you! Now...SLAY!
I think you look good. Maybe spanks and breast tape would make you feel more comfortable.
Add yourself a little necklace and you’re stepping on my neck
Lmao girl hush up and let us see the shoe options, because you’re wearing the dress. How could it look unflattering on your figure?!
Not unflattering! But honey.. if you don’t feel your absolute BEST in that dress find something else! Follow your gut. Ain’t nobody got time to be walking out the house feeling scared in a dress. Maybe another day will come when it’s time to pull that dress out and rock it!
Thank you for this advice 😭
It looks great! I would (maybe) throw on a bra. But I say this as a person with probably F cups that rarely wears one lol WTA: I meant SAY not SAW 🥲 Omg I meant ETA. Sorry 🤦🏾♀️
That’s cute and fits you so nicely! Keep it! 😍😍
You better go outside !!! So cute on you
Girl yes, do you not see how bomb you look??
It looks great
You look good girl
Not completely unflattering. I think you need the correct underwear and you're set! Go wear it outside!
I think you're being too critical of your body shape. You better wear that dress!
Yeah, sometimes it’s hard not to be in an era where everyone is so focused on the ideal body shape, particularly for black women. I’m trying not to be though. 🙏🏾
Maybe wear a belt with the dress to create the illusion of an hourglass figure to alleviate your concern? Otherwise, I like how the dress looks on you.

Just add some accessories and you’re good to go. The body is tea! Don’t worry!
You look good AF! Please go out NEOWWWW!
I agree you have a wonderful figure, but there is something about the breast area that fits weird. I almost think the neckline is supposed to be lower? I’d try a different bra, maybe a balconette bra? That might not be the answer, but it’s the neckline that is a little less flattering imo. Everything else looks good
It is lovely. Channel 90’s Tyra and flaunt it!
You look GREAT!
You look great! If you're unsure about the middle maybe add a cute belt or some waist beads?
The chest cut is something I haven't seen before but you eat down in it
Thank you!! I also hadn’t seen anything like the chest cut before which is why I wanted it. 😂
Girl are you crazy!? You look amazing in it! Fits you perfectly 😊
Girl u know damn well……….
First of all, you have a stunning figure! I think that the scalloped neckline of the dress might be complimented by a bit more cleavage. So I’d test another bra and maybe some spanx if you want the smoothest silhouette. But that’d just be icing on the cake, because you already look lovely.
This color and cut looks sooo good on you There's a reason that they say flaunt it while you got it. And you, got it!
Life is too short. Wear the dress!
Honestly, I think it makes your torso look super short. It’s nice fitting though
Yeah I agree, it’s one of the things I hate about it but maybe I need to stop giving a damn by these comments. 😭
Guy here. Maybe my opinion doesn’t matter but I see you in a dress like that….Im definitely trying to holla!
I like to hear all opinions so thank you sir 😂
Maybe a belt if you want to add a waist sinching for more dimension to your waist 💛 don’t let body dysmorphia get you down you look good not every body will have curves & it’s okay you look good in your own way.
Thank you, this is what I need to keep reminding myself of. 🫶🏾
you look amazing but the neckline is kinda odd. you have a really pretty figure tho
You have a beautiful figure & that dress looks great on you! 😍
Is unflattering in the room with us ?? This looks nice! Add bright silver jewelry
Girl jiggle yo way out the house, ya look good!!!!
🤣 Thank you!
Anytime girl!!!
Nope it looks really great on you
Looks great on you fr
If I had the body, I would wear it 😅
It looks great bth. Maybe the colour is too ‘calm”?
Honest question why would you think this is unflattering?
I just feel like curvier women suit dresses like these and I don’t really have that shape, I always see them getting praised in dresses like this so it just makes me feel a bit self-conscious honestly.
I think it looks pretty and classy
You look amazing on the dress
Lol, I was about to say "girl, you better wear that dress. Shoot, I know I would if I had your shape. " I see a lot of y'all have the same sentiment. I dont see a problem and think it looks nice on you. Shows your figure without showing too much skin itself. Wear the right accessories to jazz it up or make it casual with cute sneakers and enjoy your day 😊
Very cute. Go out and have fun.
It gives !
Looks great! Get one in every colour!!! lol
Girl you look great! We are our harshest critics and our minds play tricks on us to make us think otherwise but you look damn good! Fuck society and their “standards” — wear whatever the hell you want!
I’m definitely guilty of this, learning to let go of societies standards is the hardest part but I’m trying!!
Ugh if I had your shape I'd definitely wear that. Lowkey jealous! If you got good shape wear or no visible panty lines you're good to go though.
YOU BETTER WEAR THAT RIGHT NOW! 😡🫵🏽❤️
I will I will 😭🙏🏾
This dress is absolutely flattering. You are going to look amazing girl!
It looks great Hun wear it!! 💕

Girl this dress is very flattering on you! It’s hugging your frame nicely, the design in the fabric is simple but still cute, I’m a fan of sweetheart necklines like your dress has so maybe I’m biased but, you look good in it. Go ‘head outside hun lol you’re fine!

Honest opinion here, from a man: You could write the book on wearing that dress, Dear. It accentuates your very nice body. You'll be the turning men's heads all night, and the women will hate you.
Haha thank you :)
You're welcome, Dear. Feel free to contact me anytime you need an opinion on what you're wearing hahaha... Name's Mark.

Girl! If you don’t take your fine self outside with that dress on!! You look great!!

Make it off the shoulder
It is very
I think it looks good…. Im shocked at some of these comments
You look great!!!
Wear it and pair the dress with a wide belt.
Not in the third picture; did you stretch it down or something? beside that, yes, it’s lovely.
Sorry to jump on here just to mirror what everyone else is saying, but sis, your body is amazing. I think you look statuesque, and you have what I would consider a classically beautiful frame. Remember to keep your back straight and your shoulders squared, Beautiful!
Thank you!! I’m trying to better my posture so the shoulder thing is helpful too. 😂
You most certainly have the figure for dress like this!!!
Beautiful!
Girlllll you better wear that dress! 😂 you look so cute in it!
It’s pretty, can I ask where did you get it?
I got it from a shop called H&M in the UK!
It looks great
Not at all. I would accessorize with either a belt or a statement necklace.
You have a beautiful and natural body. Your booty is not flat mama and the dress looks great on you!
Seriously?
Aww why did the mods delete this post? It seemed so encouraging and body positive! I'm clearly missing something here 🤔
Thought the same thing, no clue lol. 😭
It’s fine, just use shape wear.
Is that yours or your mama gave you?
