After reading all of the reviews on here, I had a pretty good understanding that this dress would not look like how it looks on the model; and they were right. I am 5'9" and this dress was almost down to my knees!! I appreciated the length, but you think they could make the dress look a little more realistic on the model. Also, as you can see in my photo, the neck line doesn't go near as low as it looks on the model. Just like a couple of other reviews I read, I had to steam the dress before the ceremony. When it arrived, it had completely fallen off the hangers and was crumpled at the bottom of the bag. The dress wrinkles very easily, so you can imagine the state it was in. One of the little sleeves was sticking straight up! Lastly, because the sleeves are only an inch or 2 long, the garment loops kept falling through the sleeves. At least half of the pictures I took have the little red loops showing :( It would be best if they made one garment loop on the back where the tag would be, so that it doesn't fall through the sleeves. On a positive note, the dress was very flattering. It was slimming around the waist and I didn't feel like I was showing too much skin. Moreover, I got a lot of compliments throughout the night. Overall, I think this dress is a fantastic example of how helpful reviews can be. Though I did think the dress was pretty, I wish the pictures on RTR were a little more accurate.

Super comfortable and very flattering. I'm 5'9" and struggle with buying short dresses because as soon as I put on heels, it not only makes the dress look shorter, but it also makes me self conscious about bending over for fear of flashing my behind. The extra length in that back put me at ease and I never once felt like I was showing too much skin, etc.
