Short girls, you have found your maxi dress. It's almost impossible for me to find a maxi that isn't a foot too long. This dress hit me right at the top of my feet. Perfect length for wearing with flip flops. I'm 5'2, size 12, and I ordered an XL. I went up a size. It's form fitting around my curves but not tight, and it flows down from the hips to the floor nicely. Its almost like a collumn dress the way it goes straight down, not a bunch of extra material to get in the way when you're walking. Can def be dressed up. Fabric is very smooth and stretchy, not see thru. I will be getting more colors for sure. Absolutely love it.
