I'm curvy on the bottom, and i think this is quite flattering for curves. i'd definitely advise sizing up on this one. because it's flared, i can wear it higher up on my waist. but that's not ideal, and i think a bigger size will fit better. it's a very lightweight fabric and does wrinkle easily. the color i got was a faded denim blue. this is a lot lighter than what i'd call "dark denim".
