This dress would be great for a tall person. Unfortunately, I'm about 5'3" and short-waisted, so this dress doesn't look all that great on me. The fabric is high-quality and sturdy and the neckline is very flattering. However, the torso is very long, so the seam across the waist (where the belt is on the model in the picture) is almost around my hips! It looks so unflattering on me, so sadly I will have to return it. If only I had a longer torso!
