I actually loved this vest, BUT I am about 5' 6 1/2" and it was just a bit shorter than I like.  I like my vests long enough to cover my assets.  So I prefer at LEAST 30" length.  This one was about 28".  I REALLY debated over returning this as it is very well made and beautiful!  My daughter has one and loves it too.  So if you like that length you should definitely purchase!
