Didn't wear it, but it's really lovely. I thought the sleeves would bother me all night, and it was almost touching the ground in my platforms. Another reason is that it's so low-cut. I have a lace camisole I would have put on under the dress. If you are taller and willowy, this works best.

CUTE!
I don't have a photo because I didn't wear it. It was too young for me. A little tight in the top. I would get a size larger, too, to try. It was very, very pretty for the right person.

SHORT GIRL'S dream dress!
It fit perfectly, made me look thinner and taller( I did wear it with really high platforms to a wedding in Italy. It was so timeless, I bought it! Worn with a strapless bra. I like the shoulder straps to be more 'up', but they do slip down. My favorite dress!!

Short girl's perfect dress!
This dress was perfect.I wore it to a rehearsal dinner. I dressed it up, but it can be more casual with other accessories.

I'm short -its just too long to wear it I replaced the size-no other replacements allowed.
It's better on a woman with small hips and long legs.

Very Pretty.. a few notes....
I took the larger size.. I usually wear and 8 -10 . I'm curvy.. But the 10 i couldn't zip up. I thought maybe I gained weight, but my other dresses i own still fit. It's tight but elegant and makes you look great.. perfect length for short women.. I did notice on the 12 the lining was flipping up around the neck a little. Other than that, it was fine. the other thing I noticed about this dress is the way your stomach looks in photos.. I don't have a protruding middile but i guess it's so light colotred and tight any shadows below the belly will accentuate your stomach.. I can see that online in the other photos.. i still didn't mind. the dress is so pretty and i got a lot of compliments.

Looks great but if you have to use the bathroom a lot beware... lol
I forgot to take a photo. it was for a dinner at a college reunion. I could have used the size 8. I lost weight. Loved the look and it fit perfect to my shoes as I am short.. wore it with really high snakeskin sandals.. the only issue is to get in and out of it !!. I had to pin the top to my bra because it's very low cut.. Because the zipper was sticking s little, I could not zip it back up..... we fixed that zipper later but not before but my husband has to come into the bathroom to zip me up a few times... It was a pain to get in and out of to keep pinning .. so if you are going to drink a lot. don't wear this!.. they should make the crotch a zipper! lol

Looks great and fits nice!
I went to a college reunion with my husband...I am a size 8 now.. I am short so I always choose " mini's" to fit above my knee in length. This dress was flattering because the lining hugs all the lumpy bits and the weave just hangs nicely .. you do have to wear a racer bra, strapless or something that doesn't show. I always wear full bodices that suck me in a little ( stronger that spanx) and you appear a size smaller. I used a clip to bring the bra straps a little. . I will wear this again.!

felt so great in this dress
in my 50's and i am short. so it is hard to rent a dress without trying it on but i could see this would work. I always order minis because they fall to my knee or just above it. I also wear a waist cincher corset so it pulls a little more in at the middle (which is a problem at my age)... this makes my waist top hips a little slimmer. i don't have a big belly and the a plenty of room there. the poof is perfect . it hides hips and thighs. Bust was form fitting. . it was a day wedding but this was dressy and relaxed at the same time. I wore a vintage gold and ruby choker and strappy black sandals. I got a huge amount of compliments on Facebook and the party!
