I rented this dress for a black-tie NYE's celebration and loved it! Although mid-thigh length in the front (not quite as "mini" in front on me as model), the length in the back is *very* long (model is obviously VERY tall)... so with my 5'3" ht, I had to rock a 4.5+inch platform heel in an attempt to lift the back edge off the ground. And even then, as you can see in the photos I didn't quite accomplish that lift very well. Makes dancing/stepping backwards a little challenging (be aware).... you can't pull up the back too much because of the short front, but the look is edgy & amazing! I almost wish there was a low bustle option for the back, which definitely would have helped. (Attention designers!!) :) It is a tulle overlay and open in front, so length can't be folded under or otherwise rigged with tape. The color of the dress is a gorgeous deep navy blue - (not black). I wore black/silver mirror-edged peep toe platform heels - which you can't see in the photos, but the black did work. The sequin design (silver/deep blue/black) on the front of the dress really pops in person AND in photos. And the dress was quite comfortable to wear. If you are looking for a unique dress for a formal event and want a little edge to that look, you will feel like a star in this one!
