As other reviews said, its a bit longer, but Im 57 and its maybe a 1/2 or 3/4 inch too long (not too long that its constantly in the way) I wore it with sandals and as I was walking it was fine and kept out of the way, while standing still it would gather at my feet, but it wasn't so long that people noticed or said anything. But aside from that, its incredibly comfortable, very breathable so being in a stuffy office I was just fine, but above all else, if you buy it for no other reason, make it a staple in your wardrobe because it has pockets!!! (Really cant go wrong with pockets, right? People say hey nice dress! And instead of thanks you say IT HAS POCKETS!)
But seriously. Got many compliments on it, I highly recommend it!
