It's very very long though. I stand at 5/7 and I have to wear heels in order for the dress to not drag. It is made out of the material for costumes. It doesn't take away from its worth though. At least that what I think because the material makes it form fitting bounce and very easy to move in. I have kids and its a nice dress to go out and eat in with the family and yet not fall apart when you have to wrangle yours kids to and from the car.
