The length was actually very petite friendly- if I did wear it, it would be with 2-3 inch heels and it would be evening length. The torso section wasn't tight but it did create this weird belly/hip moment. Not very slimming and you would need shapewear. It's an incredibly hot (as in warm) dress. It's not breathable at all, there is no slit, and it's made of a crepe fabric so it's really heavy. If you wanted this for a winter evening wear situation, it is petite and big bust friendly.

This dress is a lot. It's very pretty and has great bust support. I'm 5'2", 140 lbs, curvy, and a DD cup size. I liked the side support and the full back, so you could wear a modified bra if you need to. The ruffles were a bit too princessy for me and they make it really heavy, like too heavy for summer. I could see this being a hit at an early spring black tie or formal event or late autumn.

Perfect for super hot days because it is essentially a bag. The snakes are really fun and cute.

I wore this for a 'not-wedding' engagement party (basically a wedding) in CT on a 90 degree day. It was a bit hot but very comfortable when the sun went down. The dress is a bit sheer (unlined) so wear nipple pasties and shapewear. Overall super pretty and forgiving but I don't know if I will wear again. A plus is that you could wear a bra with this if you wanted!
