1. I think it would look beautiful on you.
Then again, you could wear a plastic garbage bag and still look hot.

Go for it.

14. my sister has that one, she had a wedding to go to and bought that to wear under
her dress, it made a big difference because she sent me some pics of she and her husband. Spanx, gotta love them and they last forever.

21. no, if you buy the correct size they're fine, if you get it too small it feels like
a wet suit. I'm pretty sure there's a fit guide on their web site.

27. every time i wear them it reminds me of Truvy from Steel Magnolias
"My momma brought me up right. I haven't left the house without spandex on these thighs since I was 14."

:rofl:

so I don't get friction burns! :blush:

45. Fat and chubby? I don't think so. You are stunningly gorgeous
and have a beautiful body.

As always, not coming on to you. Just saying...

As a friend...

B-)

4. very pretty - but it needs heels (the shoes
worn by the model in the photo are kinda sucky).

It also might cover your lovely decolletage, but then again, it might not.

Have you tried it on? Do you feel fantastic in it? If so, buy it.

38. OK, then - only question is how easy is the return policy?
I think it will look fantastic on you, but sometimes it is just so hard to tell fit until you actually have it on...

If you buy it and keep it, I think you need to post a photo of yourself in it.

9. Yes ma'am. You should.
Bare shoulders are always tres sexy. Recommend silver sandals, heel as high as you can handle.

Short hair: Cluster diamond earrings

Long hair, up or down. Chandelier earrings, diamond or silver

Maybe a slave bracelet, upper arm.

10. Uh, YEAH!
If I were 30 lbs. lighter I'd say NO but tell me where you found it! :P

It needs some strappy heels to go with it (and put your hair up....)you'll look beautiful!

29. Oh, yes.
Please wear it on behalf of those of us who can't, due to the fact that it would make us look like a very large maraschino cherry.

(Well, me at least. :blush:)

31. It's a great choice. The color and style are pretty timeless
though I agree with the rest; strappy sandals (and high ones at that) would be much more flattering.

Kidding. I think it'd look great on you. But you do have some nice, uh, cleavage.

49. Oh my, yes.
That is stunning. It would look great with one of those loose waist chains, or maybe an upper arm bracelet. Do you have any interesting tattoos? If not, it would really set off one of those henna temporaries.

The shoes are godsawful though. You need some slinky metallic sandals.
