It would be really helpful if some "wearing instructions" were included with the dress. Regardless, it was easy to get online and find different variations to try. Every way I attempted to wear this dress, it was too short. I'm 5'7" and don't consider myself to be terribly tall. It's not easy to get this dress on, in any configuration, with just one pair of hands. I could also never figure out a way to wear this dress that didn't make me look like an extra in a Star Wars movie. If that's your goal, then it's perfect! I wanted something lovely to wear to a formal wedding, so I had to send it back.
