The color and the drape of this dress is simply beautiful! Being blonde and tragically pale, I typically steer clear of anything orange, but this particular orange had enough red in it that the color was stunning! I ordered the 40L (4) and 42L (6) for a formal gala. It is true that the dress turned out to be absurdly long; I never anticipated that I should have ordered the regular length, being 5'9 and wearing 4" heels. I ended up having to hold up the dress while I walked, but it was a small price to pay for all the compliments I received on it (it was only an inch too long, didn't seem worth the bother of hem tape). The size difference between the 40L and the 42L was a little interesting, ultimately I went with the 42L because the draping hit me at my hips like the model in the photo, the draping for the size 40L ended up hitting me at my natural waist. There was a little excess fabric on the top shoulder, but i just attributed that to sizing up. It was a beautiful, comfortable dress to wear all evening and I highly recommend it, but definitely think twice about which length is right for you!
