Gorgeous dress. Lots of compliments. I am 5'5"  & wore a shoe with a low heel. Bust 34 DD but small boned. Fit fine, Stretchy above waist, as shown. It is long. I lifted it up when going up and down stairs. I was prepared for all the complaints about loose, hanging, threads. I had none but it would not have been an issue. I am quite capable of cutting them off. Low cut. I chose to wear a matching tank underneath. I did not need to. Cannot beat the price! I have been very happy with all clothing from Amazon. If you have an issue with Amazon, it is really quite easy to return things!!! Once I saw the picture of someone wearing the dress in Venice, Italy my purchase was a no brainer. Wish I had it when we were there with our family.
