First of all, this dress is 90% see through. I didn't realize that and wore it to an event where I was told I should probably change because they could see my butt crack. Second, when I washed it, it shrunk a full 6 inches. That's a LOT. Even with ironing it, it didn't return to it's full length. (As a reference, I bought a large and am 5'2". On my first wear, it was about about 1/2" past the ground -- but a perfect length while walking. Now, it's about 4" above my ankle. NOT a perfect length for anything.)
