The best thing to do is accept your weight and order your dress accordingly

'The way in which it is so underpinned by womens sexuality is really fascinating to me.' Such was the case for Rose McGowan in 1998, when she wore a fishnet dress and leopard thong to the VMA Awards, a decision she later revealed was a direct result of her alleged abuse at the hands of former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein (he was found guilty in 2020 of raping and assaulting two women and is currently serving 23 years in prison)

Wide straps offer comfortable support, and the adjustable back tie lets you customize the fit to your liking cinch it in for a more waist-defining look or keep it relaxed for an easy, breezy feel
