I'm 5'11" with a big butt, and this dress is juuuuuust on the borderline of being a dress and a tunic top for me.  If I want to wear it to work, leggings are must, but out casually in the hot summer, I don't think it will look inappropriate.  It's adorable and the thick straps up top make for nice coverage so you can really wear any bra you'd like.  Super cute and overall worth the wait for longer shipping.
