I bought this dress for our 25th vow renewal on a tropical beach. I wanted this exact length so it wouldn't drag on the ground but would still look casually formal. When it arrived, i was very happy with my purchase. i do have the lined option. i am 5'6 and small busted; the medium fits like it was custom made just for me. I've seen this exact dress on other sites for $20 more so I feel a bit like I cheated the system. I love this dress.
