Gorgeous, heavy gown. It was well made, and there was plenty of hem to work with, so I had options as far as heel height. I am 5'6" and wore 5-inch heels, and it still required hemming. That is not an issue though - I'd prefer to have to hem a dress, rather than it being too short. I removed the bow and added a brooch at the waistline, and I received many compliments. I only wish it had pockets!
