As a plus size apple/inverted triangle it’s a real challenge to find a dress I feel confident in. This is my new go-to dress for parties. Synthetic fabrics aren’t my favorite, but I’m loving that this dress comes ready to wear out of the shipping bag. The fabric is lightweight, stretchy, and flowing without being too transparent. If your shapewear has any obvious lines or bulk at its seams, it’ll probably show. Honestly this dress fit great without the shapewear. The gathered waist is flattering.
