I LOVE this dress.  Cool and comfortable, and very pretty.  I get complements ALL DAY when I wear this dress!  So Im going to buy another color or two.  I bought the apricot color, it is a bit sheer, but it comes with a separate slip that is perfect.  At 51, this dress goes all the way down to my ankles, if not slightly longer.  My only complaint would be that I had to clip a handful of long threads on the embroidered part, but really no big deal. My husband hates seeing me in maxi dresses, but he loves this one on me.  SCORE!
