I purchased this costume, 1. because i love star trek. and 2. i wanted a costume that was kinda sexy, but work appropriate.

I did as the other reviewers did, and ordered a size smaller than i normally get. I am 5'6", and about 145. I normally wear a large, but i did order a medium. And the medium fit quite well.

It was a bit loose in the middle, i almost wanted to take it in a bit, but for the most part it was quite flattering.

For a halloween costume, it really was not that short. It was work appropriate, and i did wear it with tights, but that was due to the cold weather, not the length of the dress.

The material of the dress was nice, and has a pleasant feel. The craftman ship was also nice, and it really does feel like a dress that can be worn again and again.

I would highly recommend this. :]
