The dress was beautiful - fit well, flowed beautifully when walking. Although I am 5'8" I ordered the regular length, and am very glad I did. The regular length was perfect with 2 1/2 inch heels. The bodice of this dress is very sheer, and has a very low cut back. to avoid "overexposure", especially if photos are being taken, I would suggest using a stick on bra, or some other type of concealer as I did. Received tons of compliments on this beautiful gown - it was a very formal affair and I felt perfectly attired.
