This is a very beautiful dress with great color and fabric. I got the 0P and it just hit the ground with 4" heels (I am 5'0"). While the length may be petite, I didn't feel the cut of the rest of the dress was petite enough. The straps were too long proportionately and I definitely needed fashion tape to hold it in place. Unfortunately, it was still too much fabric to work with on my small frame and 30C chest (translates into a sister size of 32B since 30Cs are hard to find); there was some bunching of excess fabric here and there and I had to readjust a few times to get things to look right. It gaped in the back a bit too. While dancing at the reception, I asked my boyfriend to make a small knot in the skinny left strap because it kept sliding off my shoulder. Despite all that and it not fitting me exactly as I would have liked, it is a gorgeous dress and I got tons of compliments from both women and men.
