It doesn't look like much from the front but backless makes this T stunning. It is shorter in the front than in the back yes, but that doesn't bother me. I am 5'11 and it sits just below my belly button so I don't think it would be incredibly short on someone of average height. If its a concern or you need to cover up, layering a lace cami under it still looks incredible maybe more so. The material is feather light enabling you to feel comfortable no matter what event you attend. I bedazzled mine with a studded pink skull and it came out really great (if you do this put something between the layers of the shirt because like i said the fabric is very thin so avoid ironing your shirt together with rhinestones cuz it's a bummer) I wish this shirt on everyone. :-)
