Ooookay! I will break this down into the few issues noted in other reviews and my thoughts on them. Length: This dress in a regular length will be short if your wear heels over 2 inches. Short as in, it will fall above mid foot. I am 5'5" I wore a 3 1/2 inch heel without a platform and the 2 long was perfect. Sheerness/Fabric: From the other reviews I was expecting a silk or chiffon-like sheerness. It's not. It's like a jersey silk mix. There is a very good weight to the dress. There isn't a liner, but I wore seamless Spanx and it was fine. I gave 4 stars because the dress really could and should have a liner and without one there is a bit of a hassle. Bra: I bought two adhesive bras off Amazon and I went with Reveal Bra. It is basically a teardrop shaped sticker that you stick on your boob, lift, then stick the rest. Do a trial run, since you can't reposition the sticker. Now, if someone stood in front of you and stared, they would be able to see there is something under the dress fabric but it's better than seeing the outline of your nipple! Skin: I also taped up the front since it is a very deep V. I used regular 3M double sided tape, it worked really well and didn't damage the dress.
