When I say fit as expected, I am 4'11". The Guinevere with georgeous embroidery on the sleeves I ordered size I would normally wear. Since it looks like in the picture to come to midcalf on model it will be a full length for us short people. Cuff the sleeves back 100% cotton great material, beautiful fit washes well, wears well, I'm thrilled beyond belief. Being short I never thought I'd ever find anything like this. But if you don't mind a full length gown with a cuff, and it even looks like it's suppose to be that way, I can't say enough. Just know short, or tall this is a wonderful gown.
