(ORIGINAL REVIEW; SEE UPDATE BELOW) This is a flattering dress that hides figure flaws and looks SO stylish. I'm 5'4" tall and this is about .25 to .50 of an inch above the floor when I'm barefoot. In 3 inch heels, it allows the heels to show, but is still long enough for most formal events. It should fit most women, but the size of the armholes might be a problem for some. My guess would be that up to a size 14 should fit this comfortably, especially if you're not very top heavy. I looked at some very similar versions of this dress, but they had either short or tight-fitting under slips. This one has a loose, long, flowing under layer that adds much elegance. My only complaints are that the dress is a little heavy and the back would be sexier if it had more of a racer back shape with an open keyhole, in my opinion. I love the tie at the back of the neck, though. I wish the under layer was made from a higher quality fabric that is less shiny. I love that the dress can be dressed up for a formal occasion, dressed down for a less formal occasion, or at this low price, used as a bourgeoisie house garment, especially if you're having a summer party.

UPDATE: I liked the "watermelon red" (actually a bright salmon color), so I ordered the same dress in "red," (actually a beautiful burgundy). The red one took much longer to arrive, and is clearly made by a different manufacturer. Another case of bait and switch!! The red dress has a very strange cut at the top. The neck opening pulls horizontally, practically choking me, and looking weird. The armholes are much smaller and tighter. The red dress is inches longer, dragging on the floor. The red dress has a very low-quality under slip that is a gaudy bright red, is tight-fitting and short; it stops inches above my knees. The over layer is so sheer, that my legs show underneath. This is NOT the same look of elegance as the salmon colored one. Highly disappointed that there is no consistency with the design of the dress!!
