It looks like the picture, is a softer material than I thought it would be. I'm 5'6, 128 and it fit me great, loose enough in the waist to be comfortable but stays up, seems perfect for layering if needed for a costume and the length comes just above the top of my foot. Like others have said, there were a lot of strings I had to trim but the hem was even. I got the medium length one. I plan on wearing it with the corset to the Renaissance.
