I bought this to wear for Pirate Night on a Disney Cruise. As many others mentioned, it does run short, so I bought the petit skirt to wear under it. It was way too short and sat about 3 inches ABOVE my butt cheek. There was too much gap between the dress and the petticoat so I bought Wevez Women's Gypsy 25 Yard Solid Color Cotton Skirt to wear with it. It was cute!
